I'm a California resident and I want to get an associates nursing degree at a CA community college. As soon as I pass the state board exam can I immediately start working registry as my first job? What is the starting pay if I work for a private hospital and how does that compare with a public hospital? How hard/easy is it to find work with this type of career?
After I pass the board exam does that mean I can find work anywhere in the country such as Alaska, New England, the south, or the Midwest?
