Best States for Entry-Level Nursing Jobs Posted

Hi:

Beside Allnurses, I'm also apart of other nursing networks. Many of you here may also be apart of more than one social nursing networking sites. I received an email from one of them (NursingLink) about "Best States for Entry-Level Nursing Jobs." This is for anyone who is looking into becoming a CNA, Medical Assistants, Home health care Aides, etc. I'm posting the link (which I hope is ok), to look at states that are offering the best pay in those professions, in case you were curious: http://nursinglink.monster.com/caree...tm_source=nlet
"The healthcare industry is facing an unprecedented nursing shortage, with a need of 1,000,000 new nurses by 2016."When I see an opening statement like this I doubt the accuracy of the rest of the article.

It's purpose is to look into those states of interest to do your OWN investigation. There will be inaccuracy even within those states.

They are not talking about nursing jobs at all but jobs for unlicensed personnel.Which would be fine if you were going to move to that state so you could get a job paying $10-12/hour while you go to nursing school and a foot in the door, but in even in my state where new nurses cannot find jobs, they are still looking for CNAs, HHAs, etc.

I live in Massachusettes, Boston area, new grad LPN , Can anyone tell me where are nursing jobs? Two months into job hunting but no luck so far. Everyone (nursing homes)saying they are not hiring. So where are nursing shortage!!!! . Hospitals don't hire LPNs anymore atleast that's a buzz.any intake to find a job please.
