I am thinking about maybe relocating to Arizona, preferably Tucson or Phoenix. I am currently in an 8 week Cardiothoracic ICU internship at a very prestigious cardiac hospital in NYC. I am tired of the cold weather and thinking about going somewhere warmer. I have family in Arizona. Please let me know if anyone can suggest a hospital in the above mentioned areas that have an ICU Fellowship program. My goal is to go back to anesthesia in a few years, plus I am very passionate about ICU.
Thanks for the post, good advice. However, you forgot that CA has been hit extremely hard in the job market too. What would you recommend to those of us stuck with a house that can't sell in this market? I can't even rent it out for half of what my mortgage is...ugh

I'm with you sister....I couldn't rent out my place, and I'm way, way upside down in this place. Just got my assessment of property value and I had to have a bottle of wine once I saw how much the 'value' of my home is.
yeah...i bought my house for 260, was worth 360 supposedly, refinanced to pay off some bills or lighten the load to 300...it's now valued in the 170ish range and losing about 7-10k in value every month....if I don't get a job soon, I'm going to be waving bye and guess I will then have the freedom to look for a job across the country....
I work in the ICU's @ Flagstaff Medical Center and we do hire new grad nurses. However, with the changes that every facility has undergone due to the economy,they are not hiring as many new graduate RN's as they used to this time around . :-)

Even if you have to go Mud Sock, WV to get 2 years of experience first it would set the stage to get a better gig and then you will probably be able to move anywhere you want.
Ahem! Don't make me go all MOUNTAINEER on you! Sitting here in beautiful Morgantown, West Virginia the small city with the lowest unemployment in the nation about to complete a nationally reputed nursing program. I just hope you are enjoying Dried Up Mudhole, AZ!!!
Yes, there are very few jobs for new grads right now. I am in the Phoenix area, just graduated, working as an extern at VA and now there are no jobs for us!!
