California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

U.S.A. California

Published

Greetings.

This is my story- I graduated from Nursing School in May 2008 (ADN) and passed my boards in October 2008.

I live north of San Fran and have yet to find a New Grad Program. I've been on Allnurses since last summer when I started studying to pass the boards. I used Allnurses especially the "random facts" thread which helped me pass the boards with flying colors. My family is ready to move out of the area because there is no new grad program avail out here.

I have spent hours online looking for New Grad positions in Washington State, Southern Ca, New Mexico, and Ashville NC. These are the areas, along with the Bay Area that I am interested in. I am looking to see if someone would like to buddy up or we can all help continue this thread and we can help search together for all the possible positions in the areas mentioned above or just in California. I have found that the work done alone is not enough or that I have just missed an application date, or I didn't know that blank blank just hired for the season.

The random facts thread was so hot because it was encompassing info about one main event with up to the minute info. Maybe a thread like "California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?"- and it would include SNF's and whatever we can think of that a new nurse can do in the community, would be like the "random facts" thread. I'm sure I will hear from an Allnurses thread monitor about if this is OK or not.

At this point I am just trying to be creative and use the best resource online, which to me has been this sight.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Hey,

I'm new to the forum but a long time job seeker (going on 9 months). One of my fellow nurses has been working with CINHC surveying hospitals about new grad programs. There are 2,200 CA new grads this year. Only 1/3-1/2 will be hired in 2009 in CA. This info is off 64% of hospitals. Just thought I'd share this.

Hey Hireme, your post seems to be extremely popular. I've got three semesters left so am not ready to apply yet but I would love a copy of that list. I'm all about doing the footwork asap. Maybe you could just post it here, is that allowed? Thanks for the valuable information.

UCI Medical Center will be offering a New Grad Program in January. I do not know what departments will be hiring or when the application process will be starting. Good luck to everyone still looking for jobs!
