Good states for new grad nursing jobs and bad states?

[CNA1991]

As in, what states have an adequate amount of jobs for and will hire new grads?

Obviously, California is a horrible job market for new grads.

Also, what would you recommend for a new grad looking for an out-of-state job? Whats the best way to look for jobs out-of-state?

I am sort of looking for a list of "good", "bad", and "OK" states for RNs with either an associates or a BS.

Thanks

I know it's way out of the way but Maine has a lot of new graduate jobs. I graduated in May and applied to three places. I got offers from all three places. I have only been a nurse for about 5 months and I am already working 2 jobs that I love!
