What regions have the best nursing job opportunities since the economic recession?

Published

Since the economic recession, noticing many areas of the country are having hiring freezes and even laying off nurses in some areas (scary!). Wondering where are the best areas for job opportunites despite the declining economy--if there even are any areas left! Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!:)

I have heard about the gas cards and cars in michigan. Ive heard some members on here speak about michigan being ripe with opportunities, but Im still a little skeptical/pessimistic over here :coollook:

I live in Elkhart, IN and can tell you that there are very very few opportunities available here. Hospitals are actually laying RN's off and forcing some to take pay cuts in order to keep their jobs. I am a recent graduate and of the 32 that graduate from my class less than 5 have jobs. This area certainly isn't seeing a nursing shortage.:twocents:

Florida hospital orlando is hiring experienced nurses

Jobs are difficult to find in South Mississippi. I have some friends that drive to Louisiana to work.
