Southern Vs. Northern Job Market for Excelsior Grads?

[guest517235]

December 2011 Excelsior College graduate. From New York but spending Winter in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Job market here for grads is poor. Should I go back and look in NY?

I will be taking an extended road trip: TX > LA > MS > AL > GA > FL. How is the job market in those states?

FYI, Excelsior grads cannot work in CA and MD. Many other states require at least one year of experience to gain licensure. Still, even if I work in NYC I want a good externship to gain experience. Are they still out there??

I can easily relocate anywhere in the USA. My main concern is finding a solid preceptorship. Preferably one at a better hospital that lasts at least 6 months. Feedback please!

Anticipated working at Lennox Hill, but read mediocre/bad press. Any feedback for Columbia-Presbyterian? NYU?

What about hospitals in Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, or Miami? Recommendations?

Appreciate any and all feedback!
