NY new grad prospects (including upstate)

[lte16]

Hi all! I'm a BSN nursing student expecting to graduate within this year! I'm from NJ originally and going to school here, but I am thinking about relocating to NY after graduation/boards etc. I'm trying to learn a little bit more about job prospects in the area. I'm thinking more Eastern NY, this is considering NYC, but I am more than willing to explore anywhere from Southeastern NY through Albany and even up to Plattsburgh if thats where the best opportunities are. I'm willing to venture out towards Oneonta and Cooperstown, but not much further West than that. For those of you working in that area, did you get your job right out of nursing school? What was your starting salary? How long did it take you after passing your boards to find the position? Which hospital are/were you at? What do you like/dislike about that hospital? Anything helps! :)
