I am a new graduate from Excelsior College and am awaiting my IP license to come in the mail. While deciding on which hospitals I should apply for in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, I would like to know if there are any excelsior graduates who have had success with being hired in hospitals that you did not PREVIOUSLY work at?

Hi County,
Don't waste your time applying at Kaiser. They don't take Excelsior grads anymore because of some Excelsior Alumni who messed up.

Did you meet the requirements of date for the CA BON?
As stated above, you are going to have issues with many of the hospitals here, unless they were already familiar with you.

I signed up for excelsior in 2002, so I will be able to sit for the boards hear in California. I am just curious whether any Excelsior students had success in finding employment here in Los Angles County.
