I live in Chicago and graduated in May 09. I have yet to find a job. Several of my fellow graduates have had the same problem. And many who have found jobs are working in areas they do not like. I would look for a job before deciding to move. And don't be deceived by the many job postings on hospital websites. Many of those have been up for the last 6 months. Good luck with your decision and job hunt! It is tough out there!!!

I live in a rural part of IL about one hour west of Chicago. I know there isn't much available where I am. I work in a SNF. I'm not sure about Chicago. Good luck.

I've heard that most of the people who graduated last June are just now finding jobs. I still know some people who don't have jobs at all. It's really tough right now - a lot of places are flat out not hiring new grads. Good luck to you. I'd say if you can find a job there and get a year of experience, you will be so much better off if you want to move here later...
