Can any of you nice folks from the Monterey Peninsula give me some idea of what the job market is like there for RN's? I'm coming up on a year of acute-care med-surg experience in Texas. I used to live in Pacific Grove and have been dying to get back to the area. Just want to know what my chances are of finding work, preferably a staff position in Monterey or Salinas.Any info, tips, suggestions are most appreciated!

There seems to be better opportunities as a travel nurse. I don't understand why those positions seem easier to obtain.
