Hi Everyone, I am needing some advice. I'm from Texas and recently graduated nursing school in Dec. 2009 and started a nurse internship program with the county hospital in January. The program is 12wks long (ends first week of april). I'm working on a med/surg unit and i'm enjoying the learning experience. Here's my problem: I plan on moving to Los Angeles, CA in the summer, (mid July). My husbands job is relocating him and we chose to leave in the summer because we have 2 kids and we prefer they complete the school year before we move. So when I move I will only have 7 months experience with the county hospital. I hear from everyone that its soo hard for new nurses to find a job and also at least 1 year exp. is needed to get hired unless its thru an internship program. Is this true? I knew before I got hired that I was going to leave in the summer but I really needed to start working so I accepted the position and signing a contract wasn't required. I dont want to appear irresponsible because I'm leaving my first job as a registered nurse after only 7 months. My main concern right now is being able to find work in another state with only 7 months med/surg exp. Will I have a problem finding a job right away? Any advice that anyone can give me will be greatlty appreciated.
