How is the job market??

Published

Hi. Can someone tell me how the general job market is in Hampton Roads?? I have heard in some states like Colorado, it's VERY HARD to find a job and there is NO nursing shortage there. What about VA and Hampton Roads?? Have new nurses been able to easily find jobs here??

Thanks! Epona :wink2:

Depends on where you go in Virginia, as to whether the market's good or not. Some places (like Roanoke, Richmond, and C'ville) are better than others. Last i checked, Hampton Roads, Newport News, Va Beach, Chesapeake Bay, Norfolk areas had a pretty decent job market.

One factor that is often overlooked is graduation date. If you graduate in June, you're competing with a whole bunch of other folks. Almost as bad in December. But if you graduate at some odd time like March or September, you're in a much better position to pick and choose. This is something you can plan for in advance.
