possible Relocation To southern california

U.S.A. California

Published

I am a RN/BSN with 15yrs nursing experience the last 8yrs in Research and 7 yrs in Womens services mainly Postpartum care/newborn nursery and a few yrs Medsurge. What is the job outlook in Southern California? Husband has an oppurtunity in Irvine California and we are thinking of settling in Mission Veijo. Does it take a while to find employment? I have read some threads where it is taking new grads up to 1yr or more to find work. Any adivce you could give would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

I also have been looking to relocate to southern Cali. My husband is already working here and I am still in NC. I have a year experience in surgery and trying to get another year in the NICU where I would like to stay. I tried to get a job in Sand Diego area, applied to 15 positions and got reply from 1. They suggested me to apply in surgery because I have longer experience there but I really want to stay at the patient bedside, preferably with neonates. At the moment, I am working in one of the top 10 best hospitals and I have a great time there. But most of my family is in Cali now and so I am looking to move soon.

I would say start in surgery to get to California then work on moving into NICU. If you really want to relocate open your options and once you are in the door then continue your search for what you really want. Until go for what you can get to get to Cali.

I left nc 2yrs ago. Worked at duke. I am hoping that it won't take a long time to find work in California. It's a little concerning to me.

Hi gsi00154

I am at Duke too. I love it here but I miss my family. Are you working in CA? Which area specifically? And how long did it take you to find a job? I am planning to move out at my 2 year mark.
