New Grad Starting at Good Samaritan Hospital- Los Angeles

Hi! Oh great..I am glad someone finally responded! haha..I was beginning to wonder... Yeah I start February 9. Congrats to you as well! As far as housing goes, I have not found a place yet..I think I am going to try commuting from where I currently live for the first month or two and then move out. If you have any questions or need help with the L.A. area, feel free to email me at:

Anouk345- I wasn't there for the whole camera incident, so I don't know much about it other than that it happend.


Cabo2341- The start pay rate is $28.21 for a new grad and there are 4 differentials: 2 differentials for night shift and 2 differentials for the weekend. I heard through HR that the pay rate will increase starting 2009, but I am not sure when it will be in effect. The interview process for me went smoothly...Since I am a new grad and applied everywhere, I've had practice. haha. I was first interviewed with recruiter and then the manager for my unit. I was offered a job on the spot. So far, from what i've encountered..This is a great organization and employee satisfaction is positive. Are you thinking of applying?

Cabo2341- One of the questions I was asked the most was my work experience and my clinical rotation experience. Why I selected my speciality. What can I offer or bring onto the unit. How do I deal with stress and multi-tasking.

I forgot to add..good luck with Mt. Sac. So I take it you live in California? What made you decide to do nursing?
