BSN job opportunities in Portland

Hello All,

I've been trying to find some good feedback on new grad job opportunities in the Portland-Metro area, but much of what I've read is conflicting, some say it's hard for the new grads and others say it's not. I am an Oregonian, but currently living in Philly, PA attending an accelerated BSN program. My plan is to return home in September after I graduate, but I'm starting to get concerned about the opportunities in PDX (and surrounding) for new grads. There a tons here in Philly, and I would get a job right away to gain some experience, but I really don't want to stay here another year, I want to go home! If there's anyone out there who feels they know the real deal on this subject, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you! THANK YOU!
