Hey all! Interested in moving to Colorado after I graduate next spring, but wondering how the market is for new grads. Anyone have any info regarding new grad residency programs or any advice? Excited for the move, but worried the job market will be just as bad as it is here in California.

Many new grads here are able to find jobs (although not always quickly and not all of them) but the ones who do usually used their clinicals or healthcare part-time jobs during nursing school to make connections and show their potential as (future) employees.
