Hi everyone,
I just graduated from a BSN program in May. I applied to hundred of jobs and had little luck. I ended up accepting a position into a new grad program at a hospital in Arizona. From what I've heard, it's a great place for new grads. I start next week but I moved out here by myself and am already missing home.
I would really like to get a job back in San Francisco or at least the Bay Area. I'm planning on applying back around the 8 month mark...
Has anyone moved out of state as a new grad and gotten hired back in the Bay Area? I feel like I jumped the gun on this one but I've seen several of my classmates who spent over a year and a half looking for their first job. I didn't want to wait so long that I wasn't considered a new grad anymore. I figured that in that time of constantly applying to jobs, they could have already gotten their experience and came back. I also didn't want to take a job at a SNF or outpatient setting even if it was in the Bay Area because I'm afraid that it would be too hard to get into the inpatient setting even after a year. So here I am!
Any insight/experiences would be greatly appreciated!!
