Coming Home to LA, Job Hunt Help!?!?

I grew up around Pineville/Alexandria but now live in Mississippi. I'm finishing my BSN soon and would like to get started with a list of where I'd like to apply. I'm open as far as location. Alexandria, Lafayette, Baton Rouge..whatever. I have no idea what places tend to hire new nurses, what places don't, what places are nice to live in (outside of Alexandria), etc... If you're a seasoned nurse in Louisiana, if you were me, where would you look to go and apply?? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks everyone!
