Kelli answered this pretty well. New grads have a more difficult time than experienced nurses. That being said, those are HIGH demand areas for nursing positions and they are actively looking for employees. Get a year or two under your belt and you won't have a problem at all. What you may end up doing is a year or so on a regular floor and a year or so in the ICU and you will be extremely hirable and well suited for a high paying travel gig. Look it up and think about it. Great field to be in with a ton of jobs available pretty much everywhere, but the southwest especially

Kelli’s Answer

It is sometimes hard to find a job as a new graduate nurse but you can set yourself up for success. During your final rotations at school request to work in the areas and/or hospitals where you want to be employed. Use those places as resume builders. Be open to all opportunities. Once you have a year or two of experience you will never have a hard time finding a job as a nurse. There is a shortage of nurses now and it is only going to get worse over the years. That means new and young nurses will have many options.
