Not the greates is what I have picked up. Perhaps you can relocate?

I actually was trying to move from my current location to Dallas but getting into a program there seemed impossible so I decided to stay in El Paso. Most everyone who has graduated and passed the NCLEX is either working or has been hired to start at the hospitals here. I decided rather than risk the chance of losing the opportunity to begin work for something that is a maybe there, I would go to work and get my experience here. I have a BSN but know people that have ADN's finding jobs here no problem. They just built another children's hospital that just opened and is need of people and then they are building another hospital for Ft Bliss to replace WBAMC. That will become a VA clinic, the entire hospital now. We are getting 14000 troops and their families in so it might be something to look at if you want to relocate.

So it appears that in some places in the country things begun to open up. I'll keep El Paso in mind.

Thanks

Are you just looking for new grad residencies? Right now none of the hospitals close to me are offering their residencies this year. But there still seem to be plenty of jobs in LTC.

i currently applied for tx license endorsement and will be relocating to texas maybe el paso area soon, im a recent grad rn (2010),

with 1 yr LTC experience and 2 yr home health experience, and 0 acute care experience:(

do you recommend that i start applying now in my current state for jobs in texas or is it better to apply after i obtain my texas licensure?

@fafine I applied with an acute care at 1320. At 1700 I had a call back from the NICU director wanting me to come in for an interview. I would go ahead and apply if you are an RN. A friend of mine applied at the county hospital after getting her lvn in fl and was hired. If in doubt call and talk to the recruiters here and see what they suggest!
