1. Take the NCLEX. You will be competing with lots of folks who have taken and passed it so why start off at a disadvantage? I hope you have already bought the book (heard that the Kaplan one is great) and is browsing it everyday. Buy the study cards and learn them by heart.
2. There's a shortage of nurses. Get out the yellow pages and look under nursing and call the agencies. Also call hospitals. Ask if you can fax over your resume
