Hello all, I am currently a BSN student at the University of Florida. I hope to graduate in August of 2011 and would love to move to the Portland area afterwards. However, I am concerned that I will have difficultly finding a job at a local hospital as a new grad from out-of state. I would be willing to travel all throughout Oregon or even up into Washington for a good starting position. Is this something I should be very concerned about, or is the job market fairly accepting of new grad BSN nurses? And if this is something to worry about, is there anything I could be doing now to improve my chances of finding work? Thank you for any and all guidance.

I am also going to be at UCF Daytona 2010. I can't go to the meet and greet because I will be traveling for the holidays, but I'm sure I'll see you at orientation. I am nervous about the TEAS test, how are you guys preparing?
