I have 15 months of nurse experience in a subacute/acute hospital. I am looking for a nursing job in the bay area. I just moved. I never thought it would be hard to find a nursing jobs in the bay area. Any tip information would be grateful.

Specializes in Psych ICU, addictions.

Moving to the CA forum for a more targeted response...also, as you already have 15 months of experience, you're not a new grad anymore, so the CA forum may be more helpful.

Unfortunately, the job market in CA is very rough. Best of luck.

It is rough out here now. Gone are the days when you could decide to quit and gave another job the next day. Some new grads have been looking for years.

I have experience in subacute/acute hospital mostly those patients that comes out from ER, have acute failure disease (required acute dialysis), iv drips, alot of pain management and rehabilitation patients. I know I'll find something maybe in a year or two, because the job market for nursing is rough. Since I graduated from nursing, it took me a year until i found one. But since the move to bay area, I have to go through it over again. =(

I am going through the same thing right now. I've moved from New York to the Bay Area and have been applying to jobs left and right, only to never hear from them. I guess we can take comfort in the fact that we are not alone in this. Just keep trying and don't give up!

just curious how long did it take you to get your CA license and did you do the livescan or hard fingerprints?

I am with you, I just moved from the greater NYC area to the Bay Area and am in the process of applying. I'm a newly licensed RN-BSN. Did you find anything yet?
