    Canadian New Grad to USA?

    BiscuitStripes replied to CDNtoUSA's topic in International Nursing

    I'm sure that's a big factor. You said Florida and I'm not sure the job market there. I'm in California and although there is a huge nursing shortage here, many hospitals don't want to hire new grads...
