I always hear many nurses talk about how it's hard to get a job as a nurse in California especially in the Bay Area. My question is, is it really that hard, even if you're looking for a job in the nursing home? Are there opportunities at small clinics and nursing homes for NEW grad LVN and RN's at least??? I'll take what ever I can get, I'm not picky. I'm trying to move out to the Bay Area and if I can't find a job there then I'm going to Sacramento. I need answers for the RN route and the LVN route.
