I don't mind working in those areas. Where is it that you live? Thanks!

Thank you!!!

Hi, I am willing to relocate to just about anywhere to get my first RN nursing jobs. The two states that I want to live in (AZ & OR) are not hiring. Do you have any recommendations of any places hiring new grads? Thank you

Thanks!!

Hi, I just became an RN in the state of AZ. Because there are no jobs here I am thinking about moving to Oregon. Can I get an OR RN license and still keep my AZ license in case a job offer does come up before I make the move? Thank you

Hello, I will be graduating soon with my BSN from Alaska. I am wanting to move back to Oregon and start working as a new nurse there. My two questions are: 1. Do I take the NCLEX here in Ak, or do I take it in OR? 2. I have a DUI on my record from 2007 (21st b-day celebration) ...Is that going to effect getting licensed in OR? Thank you!

Hi, I am thinking about moving to AZ after I graduate. Maybe around Tempe or Scotsdale. I was wondering if any one is working there as a RN and could tell me a little about it. I was told that its hard to find a nursing job there and once you do, another person can come and offer your company to work less for you postion. I was born in rasied in Alaska, so I dont know much about how other states operate. :) Thank you!

hi, i am having a hard time deciding what i should do. i have been working as a cna for the past year. i am almost finished with all of the pre-reqs required for the 2 year nursing degree. i go to school in ak. here to be accepted and actually start the 2 yr rn program, you are academically competing for a spot each semester. they only allow 32 students a year. they estimate around 130-150 people apply to get in each year. i'm in ok academic standings and i have great references and experiences (all the things they look at in determining your rank) but i don't think that i am in the top 30's. then again i don't know what all the other 149 people have compared to me. i am considering taking an lpn training course, that starts in january 2007 and cost 5000 dollars, but you get college credit towards your first year of rn training and this company has a contract with my school to guarantee any graduated lpn a spot in the second year of rn training. i want to become an rn, but i am debating if i should take the lpn class because the rn application is due feb 1 2007,( you don't find out until months later if you have been accepted) and if i decide to go through with the lpn course and then i receive a letter saying that i am admitted to the rn program in fall, i would have to drop the lpn training half way through, wasting all that money that i don't have. if i decide not to take the lpn class and i don't get accepted then i will just be waiting around to get accepted into the rn, and that could be 2-3 years easily. would it be a huge waste of money to become an lpn to only be working as one for a few years?? thank you for your help.
