Moving to Utah

Published

We will probably be moving to utah salt lake, layton area in the next few months. My husband is from there and wants to go back. I am an RN with 6 yrs rn exp and 5 yrs lvn exp. I have looked at the jobs and even talked to one travel agency and they said there were no agency jobs there at all period. for the whole state. We don't know if we will have jobs before we get there or what (just plain not sure at this point.) can someone enlighten me as to what the job outlook is. my exp is pretty well diversified. ten yrs hosp(med surg, ortho, neuro, trauma, diabetic, snf) and some psych and cert alz care...

I don't think it is very good. Try University of Utah, IASIS, mountainstar, and intermountain health care (IHC). IHC has a new hospital opening in riverton in October. That is on the south side of the valley though (opposite of you). IHC, U of U, and IASIS all have their own nursing school programs through the community college. In addition southern nevada is opening a BSN program this January. Needless to say the area is saturated as far as I can tell. I graduate in Dec and plan to look elsewhere.

Good luck!

St Marks Hospital in the Salt Lake/Holladay area is a great place to work. I probably never would of left had I not needed to move out of state.

Specializes in ICU.

Gag, I hope the job market looks a lot better in a year or two.
