New grad seeking advice

hello all;my name is nesrine, i just graduated nursing school with an associate degree from new york city college of technology, and waiting to take my nclex-rn on march, 19th 2012. i also have a bachelor's degree in clinical psychology from my home country, i speak arabic, french and english.
i'm reaching to you to seek your advice on which states/cities hire new graduate nurses with only an associate degree given the fact that most (if not all) healthcare facilities in nyc do not hire new graduate nurses especially with an associate degree.

and also would like to know how hard it is to transfer a ny rn license to another state (eg. il, mi, nc,...), or to canada because i'm willing to travel anywhere to find a job.

looking forward to hearing from you.
thanks in advance!
nesrine
