Hi everyone! I am a new grad BSN/MSN nurse and I wanted to post here to get some honest feedback, since I have been hearing mixed things from a lot of different people (family, classmates, etc.). What is the job market right now for new grads in California? What percentage of new grads, specifically in the bay area or Sacaramento area, getting jobs? Some people say it's near impossible to land a job in these regions, others say wait half a year or more, which seems financially difficult.
I'm just wondering if the best choice is to head to the Central Valley or out of state, or if it's better to stick it out and stay put. I know someone who graduated in June said that only 3-5 of his classmates had jobs (4 months post grad) so that's scaring me quite a bit.
It's been about 2 months since graduation now and I am feeling super stir crazy to get a job. I've been sending out hundreds of applications but it feels like I'm only getting traction with Adventist (made it to video interviews but not past that) or Central Valley hospitals.
I am considering attending interview day with a hospital in Central Valley next week. Thoughts on this?
Thanks for the support and wisdom!!
