Awesome news, Kabin!! I'm moving back to AZ next month after I graduate. So many opportunities in the valley .... I can't wait to be back home!! :)
Thanks for posting this!
And hmmm, I've never had a problem with traffic in Phx. I know it's real bad at times, I guess it just doesn't bother me or I luck out and avoid it.
Are you already working at a valley hospital, Kabin? I'm hoping that I can find a new grad program right away and start working. Been in touch with a recruiter from Banner, but they don't offer a new grad program in the area I'm interested in. Hopefully I won't have much trouble, and hearing things like in your original post gives me hope! :)
I wish I could help you out with the job search, but right now I'm out of the system as I'm starting an Accelerated BSN program in the fall. From what I hear the hospitals are hurting for nurses, so I'll bet once you're here the opportunities will be more obvious. Sure wish I had you're problem. :)

Friday's Republic had an article on new hosptal spending as a result of bond issues in the last vote. They say it's about $1 million/hospital bed.
-Sun Health will add 98 beds to the Del Web Memorial Hospital in Sun City.
-John C. Lincoln will do a $40 million expansion in the north Phx location.
-Scottsdale Healthcare will build a 120 bed hospital in No. Scottsdale in 2007.
-Banner Health will open a 165 bed hospital in Gilbert in Fall 2007.
There should be plenty of nursing oppportunities in the valley!
