New grad: move out of state or should i stay?

Published

Hi everyone. I am a foreign grad and after the struggles, I finally got my RN license in California. I thought everything will be easy right after but I was wrong. It has been difficult for me to land a job in an acute hospital.

After sending applications after applications here in California and Florida. I got two offers:

1. Community Hospital/Telemetry Unit- California

2. Teaching, magnet, nationally ranked hospital/ICU unit- Florida

What are your thoughts/opinions/advises? Should I stay or Will it be worth to move out of state?

For now but....NewYork Bill S782 will work like California once it becomes a law after moving through legislation. It needs Senate approval to keep it moving along. What's in the Proposed Law? | New York State Nurses Association

Okay, but I thought you said you received offers from California and Florida? I'm not sure how New York state fits into this picture.

Specializes in ICU.
as someone else mentioned, we're the only state with mandated staff/patient ratios. That makes a huge difference.

Just throwing it out there NY is working on patient ratios like California for those not keeping up with things in other areas of the country. .
