    I know some areas differ in their demand or nurses but I think very few would not be able to find any job at all. Maybe you will have to look around and it may not be the job you want, but a job nonetheless. I live in Panama City, fl and there are SOO many ads for nurses in the o.r. And emergency and icu. So I'm hoping when I graduate there will still be the demand that there is now for nurses in my area.

    I think you should focus on becoming a nurse first. No one can tell you where the jobs will be when you finish school and pass your boards.

    I agree with the above poster. You can't predict what the job market is going to be in 2 years, and from reading on here the job market in Florida doesn't seem great either. There might be openings for ER and ICU but I'm sure for most of those they want experienced nurses. They can't staff a whole ICU full of new grads. Try to get a job in a healthcare setting while you're in school.

    Nursing home, dr. Office, nursing aide or a caregiver. Any of these will give you some kind of experience in the field and/or with patients. But probably not a lot of patient care/contact unless you work in a nursing home/home health care.
