California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

[gwafuh_rn, BSN, RN]

2010 is fast approaching so I think there must be a new thread for 2010 new grad program. I hope the moderators will allow me to post this new thread. I'm currently working at Monrovia Memorial Hospital which is 40 miles away from our apt. We live here in Playa del Rey, near the LAX and unfortunately I don't drive yet. I'm looking for any hospitals that offers new grad program for next year. I'm not even sure if I'm still qualified for a new grad program because it will be my 8th month this Jan. working at Monrovia Memorial. Anyone could share any info..Thanks..

My advise to you is to HANG IN THERE!!! 40 miles away from your home is nothing. Don't leave your position even though you're in your 8th month. You need at least 1-2 full years of experience before you go closer. If you made it through 8 months you can make it another 8. Best wishes!

I hate to break it to you but you're not a new grad anymore.

The good news is, you've got a job.

And 40 miles is nothing. My job (my first) is over 200 miles from home.

I second the previous opinion which says that you should stick it out for a while longer and then look to move.

GOOD MORNING!

I applied to many NEW GRAD RN programs here in California. Still, I'm very hopeful the right one will come along. With prayers, God will bless me with the right career path.

Here's a most recent job opening for all you new grads out there:

I sent you a PM

I wouldn't share this information. You are creating a bunch of competition for yourself, especially since you have not been awarded the position yet.

It's kind of you to share, but you need to look out for yourself, especially in this job market.
