I only went for the ASN program because it bit first. Today with how competetive programs are from the BSN to ASN, you take whatever comes first. Some hospitals are more difficult to get into, and some states are known for not hiring new grads at all, it just depends.... No hurt feelings here, man, I'm sure you'll eventually score the gig you are looking for ;).
How are nursing wages/cost of living/living in general in Reno? I'm considering making a move there in a couple years if I can get hired into a good ICU. I want to be closer than a 16 hour drive to the Sierra...and Reno seems to be the best option in regards to proximity to rad climbing, skiing, biking and a good nursing job.
I work as a sales associate at Columbia sportswear. I get great deals on mountain hardwear, columbia, sorel, and montrail and get to talk to people about outdoors gear all day. I dig it.
