Anyone in Huntington Beach, CA?

[BrooklynRN11201]

I might be relocating to Huntington Beach, CA from NYC in a little less than a year from now. I know it's a little premature, but I'm just wondering how the job market is there and if anyone had any advice on getting a job?

Technically I am a new RN, but I will have had a solid year experience in the Emergency Department by that time. The thing is though, I do not yet have my BSN. I'm hoping to be at least halfway through an RN to BSN program by then.

Ideally, I'm looking for something in the ED or ICU, but eventually would like to work for an Endocrinology practice as a diabetes educator so that would be a nice option as well.

If I cannot find an RN job at a facility or practice, how hard would it be to work as a visiting nurse, long term care facility nurse or even a per diem nurse?

Any information is greatly appreciated, many thanks!!
