Do you know which agencies hire per diem for Oxnard or camarillo hospitals? I am use to working thousand oaks and want to find work closer to home. Thanks.

I live in Camarillo and will be commuting to Northridge Hospital. The local hospitals, St John's Regional, St. John's Pleasant Valley, Ventura County, Community welcome new grads with open arms. They all have new grad programs. I happened to get hired in Northridge in a specialty area in a Versant training program. All of the hospitals are hiring, so it just depends on the one you pick

Did you attend any of these Ventura hospitals for clinical during nursing school? I am considering Ventura County, St Johns, and Los Robles. I am relocating from Las Vegas to Camarillo and i'm not exactly sure how any of these hospitals are. I know that their sign on bonuses are really high but whats their usual starting? Also, is your commute to Northridge gonna be bad? I'd prefer to work in a larger hospital to get trained in L&D but i'll settle if needed. Can you please give more info about the hospitals in the surrounding community of Ventura? Thank you!

I did not have clinical at Los Robles, My clinicals were St. John's regional, st john's pleasant valley, County and Community memorial. Pleasant valley is a small hospital. I liked Regional and County hospital the best. Regional is a CHW hospital. I am going to work at Northridge hospital which is also a CHW hospital. I believe the CHW hospitals pay the best in our area. Regional or county would be the places that I would have applied to.
Hope that helps.
