Re: California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?
We can't help you because all of us new grads in the Bay Area are faced with the same problem. No one is hiring new grads! Yes, there are a few places like Stanford and San Ramon Valley who are hosting Versant Programs but as you said there are record numbers of applicants and few spots (like 600 applicants for 20 positions). It's really, really hard to find a job with no experience around here. It's
not just you. I have a BSN and have been sending out applications since February, I usually get an automatic email denial saying "sorry we are not hiring new grads at this time" or no response at all. I did however get a very quick response ( the next day) when I applied in Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. Unfortunately I can't actually relocate right now but if you can I would definatly look outside of California. Sorry, sad but true
