California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

what is the average pay for a new grad in san diego...its not that im overly concerned with how much I would profit but rather how much do I need to live?? They ask you what salary you expect on the applications and I stupidly put the same salary range for a new grad in Alabama and we all know the cost of living is no where close to being the same! Good Luck to everyone in their job search!

To Piscesmama,

Where do you find "random facts" on all.nurses?

Also thanks for starting this thread. I am moving to Mendocino after I graduate, June 2010, and will be looking for a position at the nearest medium-sized hospital, not many to choose from around there....I saw that the Adventist in Ukiah had a new grad program posted on their site for 2009. I'm not ready to apply yet, but if anyone does apply this year, please post your experience with it. Thanks!!

Does anyone have the recruiter’s email at Cedars Sinai? I tried calling about the new grad position two weeks ago but they said it was already full. I am trying really hard to find any new grad positions in the LA area and any help will be greatly appreciated!

anyone else with new information to offer?

TMMC is not hiring anymore for their Aug. 24, 09 Versant program. Their next Versant cohort is in Aug. 2010
