I graduate next month and am planning to relocate right away. I even sent my license app to the other state and they're just waiting on my official final transcript with degree posted.
My concern is, every time I have done a clinical rotation in my specialty of choice, at the end of the clinical rotation, I have been told TWICE, at two different hospitals and units, to apply there as soon as I pass NCLEX because they'd love to have me. This doesn't happen to me when I'm working med-surg or something that I can't wait to finish LOL I guess if all else fails, I could stay here for a year and get my new grad stigma out of the way... but I really want to move. I feel like I've done a good job networking here, but I don't have any go-to contacts in another state and have been passed over in my top few choices for new grad programs already (the new grad programs were the main reason I decided to get my license in another state right away, because they begin in January/February and I didn't want to miss out because I wouldn't have my license in that state by the start date!)
Any ideas or advice?
