I'm a new grad (January) working per diem contract - I'm working nights and weekends and making 42.00/hour plus 8.75 differential... It is possible, but right now a lot of facilities have hiring freezes and are using travelers or agency and filling in the gaps. I was extremely lucky that i have been at my facility for 2 years and transferred in to a posistion. Good Luck, though!!

I'm a recent Apollo Grad from their ADN program... excellent program if you can handle the bumps and hiccups of it being a new program with relatively new faculty and curriculum... Apollo is putting off their BSN program because they got bought out by DeVry and are going to be absorbed into the Chamberlain College of Nursing franchise that DeVry owns. No time soon (like June or October at the earliest)for BSN. Or so I have heard.

Thank you to all of you. I feel a little better now. I guess that all i needed to hear was that it was not completely hopeless. This move will be exciting I am sure once it starts to happen, and I know that moving to the Bay area from NM will be amazing culturally for my kiddos. You guys have restored my faith. Thanks a million. :heartbeat

I would love to do that, but I am staying in NM until I graduate.... because i am only 6 months away from graducation here, by the time we sell our house and actually move I will be in my Final semester with preceptorship. I guess my biggest question is, "is the only way to get hired as a new grad to be hired into an actual grad program?" I am just super scared that I will graduate and move out there and not be able to find a job. Thank you for the welcome, and sorry if I sound whiney. I am just scared and emotional right now. Moving is a lot to handle, especially if it's as a new grad.

Hi Guys! I am a 5th semester nursing student graduating in December. My husband is being transferred to the Bay area with his job, and therefore, I will be a new grad in a new city. I started nursing school here in New Mexico because I love it so much and because here, it is easy to get a job as a new grad. Making this move, though, I am terrified. All that I keep hearing is that it is impossible to get a job as a new grad (especially from an ADN program) and that all the nursing markets in the Bay area are saturated. I'm an A student working an externship in a PICU specializing in Pediatric Cardiology, and have worked as a tech in a busy ER here for years, but I've heard that doesn't make a whit of difference. I'm terrified. Not only is this the first time in my life i will be away from home (28 years in NM), but i will be looking for a job in a city where I hear it is near impossible to find a job. Please can someone help me with suggestions of hospitals to try calling for info or with suggestions of their own? This move is inevitable, but I don't want to lose sleep over it. Thank you, Natalie
