Help! Will i even be able to find a job when i move to Denver?

Published

My husband accepted a job in Denver, he's is out there now in the Littleton/Parker area. I plan on coming there sometime next Summer. I am so excited to be moving to Colorado and get out there and ski, and hike, fish, camp, and ride my mountain bike! We have 4 older children His/mine that will be coming too. But i have to admit that i am kind of nervous with the threads i have been reading about actually acuiring a position there as a nurse.

I am a cardiac nurse (telemetry/PCU) i have had almost 6 years experience and i do not have a BSN. Just been seeing a lot of negativity on finding a job there. Should i start applying before i go? Has anyone else out there have close to the qualifications i do and re located there with any luck? If so, how long did it take you? What would the approximate pay rate be for a nurse with my experience? I'd probably be working nights as well. Any information would be grand.

Thank you for responding!

Well, i will look into that. Thank you for suggesting it. Do you think they would hire someone who has no experience in that field?

Six years is good experience. I would think if you start applying now and express a willingness/desire to earn your BSN you would be reasonably marketable.
