I am a nursing student expecting to graduate this May. I live in NYC but I am extremely interested in moving upstate to the Albany area. Ive been searching alot about new graduate jobs & nursing residency programs but I am not having much luck. I was just wondering if any one knew if there were job opportunites for new graduates in this area. Also, what hospitals offer residency programs for new graduates & in what fields? I want to begin getting in touch with nurse recruiters soon so I can start to get my foot in the door but I am not sure which hospitals I would have any luck with? Lastly, if any one has an estimate on what new graduate salary is there? Thanks You! :)
