Commuter, I have a question for you also! My best friend who lives in California(huntington) is graduating in December from Nursing school. She is wanting to move to Texas(austin) when she graduates, but unsure about the exact procedure she should go about doing now(before she graduates) so that she can start looking/applying for jobs here in Texas. Also is it dependent on the different hospitals for sign on bonuses and such? Do you think its harder to switch states immediately after grad? Thanks so much in advance! :)
