How is the job market in California right now (2012)?

I have almost 9 months of experience as an RN on a med/tele unit and almost 2 years if you include long-term care. I want to work in the Bay Area in particular. Will it be tough to find a job with 1 year of experience? I went through a residency program. I am thinking about moving even without a job offer sometime towards the end of the year. I can survive for several months without a job if need be while looking for one.

go work for davita. they will hire you no matter what your exp, because they are gonna have to retrain you for dialysis anyway. i know it can be a crap place to work, but you will have a job, 401k, benefits, and only have to work 3 days a wk, and can always move up to FA or whatever you wanna do. good luck :)

Do you think this will be true in 2 years still? Thanks for the tip.
