Attention new grad RNs from White Memorial, Hollywood Presbyterian, Torrance Memorial

[username2008]

this is important to me and i'm obviously getting pretty desperate. i'm a new grad licensed RN scheduled to start a day shift in the Definitive Observation Unit (DOU) at Good Samaritan Hospital on july 14. i'm willing to swap for a position in the ER, preferably in a hospital that offers the Versant RN Residency Program for new grads, such as White Memorial (i had regrettably resigned my ER position there last week), Hollywood Presbyterian, and Torrance Memorial. if any of you would like to swap, or know anyone who might want to swap with me, let me know ASAP so we can get this going.

I have to agree!....I can see where there is lack of maturity for anybody to come on a board and basically ask if they want to "swap" positions at work....I'd like to see Human Resources handle the paperwork for this one!...

NO unsolicited advice, please, especially if you're not even an RN to begin with. i'm looking for a quick solution, not a lecture, not a putdown, not what i should have done, not what i should not do, etc. a hospital is also a business, and in business situations, anything goes, and if there's a will, there's a way. if nurses can swap work schedules, they certainly should be able to swap jobs. i know there's plenty of new nurses who would die for a rare day shift. i'm serious and willing to trade, and by the way, if you're not from this area, please don't respond. thank you.

You came here looking for an answer, and sorry, there is not one way that you can do as you want with this. You applied to and were accepted to a specific program, there is also more involved than just the hospital with this program as well that you are not even thinking about.

We also do not permit soliciting on this forum and that is what is being done here. So from a business standpoint, the thread is being closed.

You came here looking for advice and it was given, that you do not want to accept it is your thing to deal with.

And I am an RN, and have been one for a very long time. Thank you.

The complete hiring process is never immediate, the nurse needs to be checked out, etc. And this is how business is done all over the US, patient safety comes first, so background checks are done first and they are not instant. You are wishing to change between employers, not just a shift or unit. Big difference and something that is not doable.

But remember that none of us know anything.
