Bay Area, CA

Finally received my CA RN license. Only took 4 months, two phone calls, on hold for 30+ minutes. However considering everyone's else experience with obtaining a new license, I am thankful mine went as "quickly" as it did. I am thinking of going into the Bay Area. Anyone have any suggestions for hospitals? Or thoughts in West Hollywood for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. I can work ICU, CVICU, Neuro ICU. Worked with EPIC, Meditech, and Simeons "Clinical Suite".

    Do you have your BSN? Cedars only hires BSN nurses.

    The criteria for permanent staff may well be different than temp. If I were them, and I had to chose between only two profiles for hard to find L&D nurses and the choices were 32 year diploma nurse and 1 year BSN, I know which one I would pick as a manager! Considering how many ADNs are out there, I think even hospitals with "only BSN" hire ADN staff if they promise to get a BSN in a given number of years.

    I do not think that is the case with cedars. My boyfriends sister volunteered there and the coordinator told her they absolutely do not hire ADN nurses. I think it's pretty lame considering there are only 3 schools in the Los Angeles area where you can actually go straight to BSN instead of RN-BSN. I know on the east coast they have a crazy amount of BSN programs

    Right, but when you're a traveler the hospital doesn't "hire" you at all. Travelers don't count toward the BSN numbers for magnet status, so it's not such a big deal--always worth trying. I don't feel like I've seen many, if any, travel postings that mention BSN (compared to permanent staff postings, where it comes up often).

    Cedars won't hire masters (MSN) prepared nurses? There are several health systems here in the Midwest who don't hire MSN nurses, but I am surprised to hear about one in California.
