Re: Bay area and Sancramento don't have that much nursing shortage? Originally Posted by RNRebecca83 I am 2 yr RN in Med/Surg. I applied more than 10 RN jobs in Bay area and Sancramento.

Another job offer I got is to work at a busy hospital without CNA. The third job offer I got is in Oakland, well known for its crime problem. I applied Kaiser and Sutter in Sacramento. Not even an interview. What a frustration.
You forget that there are multiple nursing schools in these areas and the students are always going to get first choice of jobs if they did their clinicals at a facility in the area. It is also the highest paying area in the country, so many want to work in the above areas, with the Bay Area being the highest.
If you had two years of a specialty area, then you would not have a problem at all.
Are you willing to go to any other areas?
