Hi Everyone!

I am asking for help. I am thinking of relocating with my family to the Half Moon Bay area. ( San Mateo, San Jose areas). I am a BSN, CCRN, nurse with heart experience, ECMO's, etc. Can anyone tell me if I will have difficulty getting a job at a decent facility? I usedto work for the Dignity Health system. Thank you very much for any feedback!

Half moon bay is the beach and with traffic can take well over hour and a half towards San Jose area. I'd start applying because you have the right degrees and experience. If you are able to use a local address it helps get your resume noticed more. I am not in the Bay Area, but using my families address helped me have bites when I was considering it. Definitely look at hospitals nearer what areas you are planning to move to because it's not light traffic up there.

Good luck!

I don't have any job outlook advice, but just wanted to add that I'm very jealous! I grew up down the road in Santa Cruz, and would love to return to that area some day. Good luck!:)

Thank you! It is still in the early planning stages. I am from California originally, and my husband fell in love with the area. I am just putting feelers out to see what the job situation looks like! Hope you get there soon!
