How hard to find a job? (Raleigh, Durham: community college, moving, campus)

[DFBARBIERI]

Are rn jobs hard to find in the tiangle i am moving from the north?

[Francois]

Nursing jobs will always be more in demand than others, but NC is in the top 7 or so state in unemployment right now. Best to find a job BEFORE deciding to move here.

I was speaking with a student advisor from Wake Tech Community College recently and she said that for the first time ever, entry level nursing graduates were not getting snapped up immediately, they were having a hard time finding a job. I don't know the impact on nurses with experience but as Francois said, best to find a job before moving here.

There are still plenty of RN jobs available in the area. Do you have hospital experience? If so, do you have a specialty? There are fewer entry level jobs around. I'd suggest doing a search of our local hospital websites.
