New Grad Needs ER, Climbing, and Good Snow, Where do I relocate to?

[Generic ER Nurse]

So, much like many of my fellow grads, I can't find a Job where I live or want to live.

I apply to at least 10 openings a day with no call backs. I did very well in school, (Did an ADN and hold a BA) I worked as an EMT-I for a skilled Search and Rescue Team working heavily with Life Flight and Air Med (so dreamy) and am still active as an EMT-I. I'm a BLS instructor, ACLS and am obtaining my PALS and TNCC with in the month. I teach wilderness medicine to gosh dang MED students. What Gives?

I need a RN position in the er/trauma field. I love me some trauma victims.

So, I live in Salt Lake at the moment but would relocate to anywhere that can feed my climbing and snowboarding addiction (after all, that was a big reason for me to go into nursing!)

Does anyone have any leads as to where I should be applying too? What career path I should follow? How do I get into shock trauma and or flight? Where should I move to?

:confused:

Can't help on your career path leads, but as far as where to move, I'd suggest Colorado. Either Denver or Colorado Springs areas, lots of snow sporting, mountain climbing, great hospitals, it may be right up your alley. Good Luck!

Can always spot the climbers. :-) It's sick, really.

Where to move to... I'd suggest anywhere in the Cascades (Washington State), Tetons, and yes I like the Denver/ Boulder/ Colorado Springs suggestion, too. Utah, as you know, is fantastic. Have you tried moving somewhere more rural?
