HOAG or Scripps La Jolla ICU position? HELP!!!


Which would be the best place to work in an ICU? Scripps La Jolla or Hoag hospital in Newport Beach???

I have asked many people and i always get totally different answers. Funny enough, the Hoag nurses I spoke with said that Scripps La Jolla is a GREAT hospital and they'd love to work there. However, the Scripps La Jolla nurses say the SAME thing about Hoag!!! Basically everyone wants to work at the other hospital!!

Any suggestions for chosing between the two?
Which has a better reputation, making later employment easier?
Which would offer better training program for new nurses?

Thank you in advance for any info/advice provided.

if you've got a job offer at either, i'd take it... if you received offers at both & are just trying to decide between the two, i guess it would depend on where you want to live? both hospitals have great reputations. good luck deciding!

Well, I noticed Hoag has quite the impressive new grad program set up, when I browsing their computer system on one of my clinical breaks. And I must say, computer charting is a big bonus. I don't know if Scripps has computer charting as well. Oh, Hoag has a bunch of employee discount programs and their food is FANTASTIC. Do try the chilli if you go w/ Hoag
