informatics is booming and a nursing background is half the battle in entering that particular arena. Outfits like HCA and Tenet pay some nice coin in this field.
I work in informatics and a ton of my co-workers were/are nurses. It's a great field.

get a part time job in the hospital now. just to get your foot in the door. I learned way more about how a hospital functions and what kind of job I wanted to do that than school ever taught me.
It will also help when job hunting to say you have some experience.
Where are you? Galveston or Baton rouge? Houston hospitals are getting picky and want a BSN. Nursing is and has always been cyclical.
There are more people graduating in nursing now than ever before in order to meet the need of baby boomers. Gov't pumped money into schools and they are now pumping out more nurses.
I don't see it as a shortage of nursing jobs but a shortage of "good" nursing jobs.
good luck, and I don't know anyone who works at a HCA hospital who makes good money and who is happy in their jobs.
