Worried about job outlook

I am currently a pre-nursing student at UVU. Pending a good chemisty grade and TEAS test score, I'm hoping to be accepted into their program this Fall. I'm so glad I found this site but one of the threads recently posted has me worried. It mentioned that there is little demand for nurses in the Provo area (where I live) because of the crappy economy (though I also suspect from the outpouring of new grads each year from UVU and BYU as well) Is this the case throughout northern utah or just a Utah County thing? I've still have 2 years before I have to worry about job placement, but I do worry because my husband and I are really banking on me being able to find employment right away (at a decent pay.) What can one reasonably expect to make in Utah as a new nurse?
