job market around st. lucie county 2012

[MemphisTigerRN,BSN]

Hey guys, I am graduating a BSN program in December and considering a move to Port St. Lucie. I am hearing what everybody is saying around Florida about the new grad market, but nobody is speaking specifically about the Treasure Coast. I have income to live on until I can find work so I'm not going to be desperate and freaking out, but am still a bit uncomfortable with the hearsay of people not finding jobs period. I'm not picky and willing to work on whatever unit I can get on, and have private health insurance so if I have to take per diem until I can get on full time, that's anything to get my foot in the door. What do you guys think and what's the scoop on anybody hiring at all? I know Martin is building the Tradition Medical Center in west PSL they're going to be hiring for in Summer 13. What have any of you heard? Thanks so much!

Not sure about the hiring of new grads on the Treasure Coast but I just moved here in August 2012 and got offered 3 jobs. Lawnwood Medical Center, Jupiter Medical Center and Martin Memorial. I have been a RN with ASN for 2 1/2 year. I am currently working on my BSN.

Good luck to you. I love it here!!

Thanks so much for your reply! I haven't seen any graduate nurse positions, but I do have interviews in the next couple of weeks in Dallas and Corpus Christi. We will see!
