CA trauma centers?

Published

Hello, I start an ADN program soon and just wanted to get an idea of what trauma centers there are in CA. It is still really early to be looking at hospitals to work at, but I'm curious.

What are the Level I trauma centers in the state (mainly the SF/Bay Area)? Any pos/neg comments or experiences?

Also, for anyone who has moved to CA from another state, how was the transition?

The level 1 trauma centers in the SF bay area: San Francisco General, Highland Hospital (Oakland); and I believe Stanford Med Ctr (Palo Alto). Further out; UC Davis Med Ctr in the Sacramento area

Harbor/UCLA Medical Center is located near Carson, CA near Los Angeles. I just got hired there in the Trauma ER. It's a county hospital so we get everything there.
