Michelle126.....Thanks for the info. I will do any type of nursing. As a new grad my experience is with med/surg. Agencies where I live now hire new grads to give flu shots or for ongoing projects that dont require much experience. Was hoping to get a heads up on some of them to start applying. Are hospitals in Pittsburgh hiring? I have been hearing the job market is competitive there now due to another hospital (West Penn?) closure.....

Im a new grad, licensed RN moving to Pittsburgh from out of state. 1. Does anyone know how long it will take to get my PA license once I send all the required forms? Do you suggest that I get a temporary practice permit even if I don't plan to be ready to begin working there for 2 months... or will RN license come within that time...? 2. How is the job market for new grads? 3. Can anyone give me recommendations for nursing agencies located in the Pittsburgh area? I appreciate any advice. Thank you!
