I have 14 years experience as an RN - currently working in outpatient oncology - and am very interested in living/working in Chicago. I really would appreciate any advise, suggestions, information anyone can pass along to me.........Thank You!

Welcome to Chicago. I'm barely starting nursing school this January but seems like a lot of ppl are complaining about Chicago's job market.

But maybe it depends on many different things how an employer sees you.

Keeping a good attitude n you should be okay finding a job I think :).

Good luck

Not an excellent job market, but sounds like you have a lot of experience. I think you'll certainly find something. Chicago is a huge city. Where are you looking to move?
