Chances of finding a job in the bay area or Chicago

Seeking Advice

So to start off I am a German nursing student and I will get my BSN next year. After, I will work in the hospital for 2 years here in my country before moving to the US and working under contract for 2 years in probably a state like Florida or Texas.

Now how hard is it to find a job in the Bay Area or Chicago? With all combined I would have 4 years of experience as a nurse, can't say which specialty yet because I would have to pick whatever my organisation offers me. But I would prefer not to do ICU.

Is it possible to find a job in one of these areas with my experience? I could also see myself becoming a psych nurse or working in an outpatient clinic. Is it harder or easier to find a job in one of these areas?

Thank you all
