CA resident looking for a job in NM

U.S.A. New Mexico

Published

Hi everyone.. I currently live in CA. I'm a foreign grad.. Its very hard to apply for a license here in CA if you're a foreign grad so I applied in NM and I was able to get my att and passed my NCLEX fortunately. Now, I'm considering to move there so I can practice my RN. Is it hard to find a job there?I've been working as LVN here CA for 3yrs.. So far my experience are in SNF, hospice, homehealth and Sub Acute..What's the possibility for me to get a job there? Nsg home or home health would be great but hospital job would be better.. Help pls? ?

NV is not a compact state, so I think it might be harder to endorse there. YOu have to get a fingerprint card/check by the sherrifs dept, at work card, a drug card, etc... lots of hoops to jump thru. It took my daughter 5 months to get a job!

I am aware that Nevada is not a compact state. Thank you.. And even I have license on 1 compact state, i dont have a privilege to be licensed to 26 states coz NM is not my home state right now

Of course Johnny Id be working in LV soon, hopefully I should say. Thats why they said if u took d nclex for that state u must be planning on working there.. Best of luck, hopefully we'll be hired soon..

Konoha yeah I saw some of your posting in Nevada section. I'm actually thinking to endorse my license there so i can try to find a job somewhere closer here in CA.

Good luck ?

Hi, how is your job hunting in New Mexico?

I have a feeling that Nevada has a very tough market as well. Because lots of CA nurses who cannot find a job move to Nevada. After all, it is only 4 hour trip.

I'm from NY and is considering moving to NM for the job opportunities there. Do I need to be endorsed to get licensed there? Does anyone know if I can start the process while still in NY. Any feedback much appreciated.

You can start the process while in NY. If NY is not a compact state you will have to get endorsed.

Thank you for that information...i received a perspective job offer in NM so hopefully they will endorse me and take it from there.

anyone who knows any hospitals or facilities accept newly license nurse.im from florida but willing to relocate in NM.hoping for info.thanks in advance.

Hey there! I'm a graduating CA BSN student this December and was wondering if NM is new grad-friendly. I'm looking for ICU Jobs and would prefer to be with a VA hospital since Im in my internship this summer with them, but at this point I'm open to anything.
