Any jobs for New Grads?

Hi,

I would like to know how the job market is in Idaho for new grad nurses. I passed the boards in June and have been looking for jobs in California since then (my home town) with no such luck. Just as a side note: I received an email today from one of the hospitals I applied at in SoCal and it said that they received over 1,000 (yes, a thousand!) applications for new grad positions and will contact me in a later date.

I want to know if there is better luck in Idaho as I've looked in nearby California states (Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington) and getting nothing but "We aren't hiring new grads right now...check back at the end of the year" and the like.

Your help is much appreciated. Thanks!
