   I am graduating in just a few weeks and heading back to the Portland area from Rochester NY. It seems to be a vastly different hiring process. In Rochester, you can take your pick between hospitals and units. They also hire GNs here, which may exp...

   The hospitals I was speaking of are all in Rochester, NY. I have classmates that have already accepted positions in Buffalo as well. I have heard the same for Syracuse. If you are interested in looking at nursing jobs, or even just talking to recr...
