CA Spring 2012 New Grad

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi everyone!

I am graduating this winter with my BSN and am starting to look into new grad programs in Southern California. I'm hoping that we can use this thread to post information about application and start dates for all the hospitals in the LA, Orange County, and San Diego areas. So far I know that UCLA's application date is October 3rd and the program starts in February/March 2012. Children's LA applications opens September 19th and the program starts March 5th. Let's use each other as resources and work together to keep informed!

I'll be graduating in Dec with BSN as well and am really hoping for a So-Cal job! I'm from Nor-Cal but am in school in Nebraska, so I'm hoping that they still kinda consider me in-state haha! My top choices are CHOC, Loma Linda, and UCLA. My biggest worry is lack of any CNA experience, but I do have a lot of in-patient volunteer work on a peds floor. Are you aiming for peds or adults?

Hey Guys,

I will be graduating in Dec with my BSN. I've already taken the boards and passed. Now that that's behind me (thank God) I will be applying to Loma Linda RN residency in winter of 2012.

It's tough to keep up with all the programs! Children's Hospital Orange County is open NOW! (NICU is closed though.)... Best of luck to you!

Anyone hear anything from CHOC? Almost 2 months since we applied. At least my application has not been rejected.

I know at CHOC that NICU has already completed their hiring and that PICU has done interviews. I also know people have been called for interviews for CVICU and Short Stay. Not sure about the other units
