Hospitals in Ca are freezing their RN New Grad Program..how about LTC and SNF ?

I am working with at least three placement agencies in the bay area-both perm and per diem. In addition I have a BSN from the University of Illinois at UIC, third ranked in the country. My experience is in Telemetry and I am ACLS certified and have code experience. Whereas the ratio in CA is 4:1 in tele, I regularily have 7-8 patients, all on vents, monitors, enteral feedings, complex wounds. You have to tell me that I have a least a fighting chance at getting a job in some acute care setting. If I can work with 7-8 tele patients and keep their families happy and alive, I should be able to handle 4. Is the job market in the bay area so bleak? Should I be looking for jobs in developmental disabilities, LTC and SNF? At any rate, I am taking my chances and am moving to the SF in 10 days, job or no job.
Wish me luck just as I think all of you will find the work you aspire to do.
