How should you go about getting a job after graduation if you have no work experience?

You can't include work experience/history or applications or resumes if you don't have any, so what do you do instead? How does this affect your application process when you're looking for a career?

What are the best ways to stand out as a new grad nurse?

I am curious what employers want to see as far as experience, community service, and past work experiences from a new grad nurse. Also are there any clubs that really stand out that can help me land a position on a labor and delivery unit.
