Thanks for starting the thread! I also applied and will be following. Good luck, all!

No problem. Which hospitals did you apply to and what department?

smers · Jan 23, 2018

I'm pretty desperate for a job right now, so I applied to all of them, lol. I'm willing to do the drive, but I'm closest to St. John's in Santa Monica. I also don't have a BSN, so that puts me lower on the totem pole... Gotta do what I gotta do! My choices are NICU and PICU. How about you?

I applied to St. Jospeh, St. John, Holy Cross, and Mission Hills. I have my BSN, but it's still a bit of a challenge to get into providence I heard. I applied to all Med Surge and Postpartum. I live far also and don't mind commuting to a different location. How long have you graduated?

smers · Jan 23, 2018

I graduated in June. I didn't really start looking until end of Sept, right after I passed the NCLEX. I am hoping something comes up soon because I'm pulling my hair out being at home all the time, lol. But I just started an online RN-BSN program, so at least I have something to keep me busy again.

Oh ok. I graduated last year also, but took my NCLEX last month and now I'm just applying everywhere.

Moved to First Year after Graduation for more response. Look around this forum and you should see other posts/info about the TIP program.

Good luck.

Ok so heads up to anyone who applied for ICU at ST John's: they are NOT doing the program until further notice (maybe September).

Harmony29 · Jan 23, 2018

Oh wow. How did you hear about that? Do you have any information on any other floors?

esipbisn · Jan 23, 2018

Someone legit from there told me. I have no idea for the other floors though

Aww bummer. I hope other areas aren't shutting down also. I applied on Med-Surge for most of the hospitals.
