Will move for work but where???

Canadaaaa

try any major teaching hospital in the northeast.

i would avoid the northeast. i grew up here, went to school here, and i am having a really hard time landing a job in the hospital setting. the teaching hospitals hire within, of course there are exceptions but i wouldn't risk coming out here unless you have to.

Here is a couple of web site for you to check out. Amarillo is a medium sized city with about 130000 pop schools are pretty good and the economy here is fair.

http://www.bsahs.org (Baptist Saint Anthony Hospital) and http://www.nwtexashealthcare.com (Northwest Texas hospital)

Both are hiring and will hire new grads. Hope this helps

Careful of Home Health and Hospice.

Try to look for one that has been around for many years and has an established reputation with providers and hospitals. Some of these privately owned Hospice and Home health are shady and will put your license at risk. These pop up everywhere, have extremely hi-end websites and hire people to write amazing fluff to make them look great. But, they have no clinical infrastructure. Your clinical management may have had no clinical experience, and that company might very well be their first job! Look them up once you have names on your state BON, google and glassdoor.com the company. Ask them where they've worked in the past. It is extremely important that you know exactly what orientation is especially if you are a new grad. Often orientation is only on how to chart for reimbursement. These businesses are only in existence for the quick cash, that can be gained with exhaustive charting. You might find that management cannot be reached, and that they primarily hire new grads. You will be hard pressed to find experienced nurses employed at these places.

If you want to do something short term you can work a strike contract with HealthSource Global http://www.healthsourceglobal.com.

Now this is what I like to see, people willing to relocate to get a job. I know the job market isn't what is once was, and I really don't have that much room to talk because I'm still in school. But it is getting really old seeing posts where people are complaining about how they can't find a job in say, Miami, to save their life.

I would also like some input from people who have experience in other fields. A lot of people on this forum talk about how hard it is to find a job as a nurse compared to how easy it was before. But is this really exclusive to the nursing profession? It seems more realistic to think that this is how a lot of career fields are right now in the United States.

And on a side note, is it even possible to transfer your RN / Advance Practice Degree to Canada? If it is, then how hard is it?

Thanks
