RN Job Hunt

I feel like I'm a bit on a wild goose chase because I have been sending my resume over the internet to different hospitals and I have yet to hear back. I'm starting to think that replying online to open positions is not the best way to go about searching for an RN position as a new graduate. Maybe I'm just impatient too, I have only applied to three different hospitals within the past 3-4 weeks. I could have sworn I would have heard back already... I mean helloooo isn't there a nursing shortage?!? :-) I think I'm going to go to a few different open houses if I can find some, with that being said I'll have to remember to print up a few resumes while I'm at school since it's free!
