Applying for out of state jobs as a new grad

okay so here is my question, I graduated with a BSN in December and now have a CA license but am still having zero luck landing even an interview in the bay area. I understand its a tough job market and am totally up for relocating.Maybe I am being too picky but I would really prefer to stay in the northwest, however when I go to apply for jobs in Oregon, Washington etc they all say you are required to have a valid license in that state. So anyone have any tips on how to get in as an out of state applicant? I can't really afford to go and get licensed in three states and I guess after all the rejection out here I am a little wary of pinning all my hopes on just one location. Just frustrated and looking for any advice...thanks again
