Hii,

I'm just curious to know If anyone knows what states/cities are good for finding nursing jobs?

I realllllly want to relocate to Boston, but I'm finding the job market in MA isn't that great. I'm not giving up on the dream but I'm starting to realize I might need to have a backup plan and gain a year or 2 of experience in a good hospital. I'm currently in NJ and probably could land a new job if I try hard enough, but I don't want a new job in NJ, I want to get out of here!! haha:).

Specializes in Vents, Telemetry, Home Care, Home infusion.

Job market is saturated from Philadelphia to Boston along I95 in major areas..... Washington DC/Virginia still appears plentiful --would be your best bet along with Pittsburgh.

Specializes in ICU, ER, EP,.

I am a travel RN in Virginia, Richmond. It really varries between hospitals, like one in Newport news is on a hiring freeze and isn't taking travelers. The system I am in really needs nurses as do several hospitals in Richmond. So it's pretty area specific.
