Cedars-Sinai RN New Grad 2011

Halienh · Aug 13, 2011

I agree with BNice... honestly we pay into the US economy for our schooling which costs an arm and a leg and most of us have to take loans which we don't have the opportunity to pay back unless we get a job. It makes no sense to hire people from other countries when we have qualified and unemployed nurses here. We have too many nurses in the US that are citizens that can't get a job. SDSU just graduated a class of 110 (with bachelor's) and I know that only a select number have jobs still... I was VERY FORTUNATE to get hired at Scripps.

And I don't know where you got the idea that California has a nursing shortage because we clearly do not. I applied to some areas of Ca that no one wants to live in (ex: Bakersfield) and didn't even get an interview. If you want to move to this country try Texas or Florida... you might have better luck.

First I would like to say gongrats to all of u who are now employed... I'm going to have to Agree w the fact that those who got hired deserved it... I know I've been complaining that I'm unemployed at this moment and that there are such limited positions for us new grads but as someone stated here b4 we were all given an opportunity to shine and maybe we fell short per CS standards... I know as I reflect on my interview; I must say I could of done better , a lot better (sigh)...I think everyone deserves a chance to be hired in any hospital if they have the necessary training and they are fluent in the language regardless of their legal status (as far as I know foreign students pay tons of money just to attend our schools they are trying to better themselves as much as we are they contribute to our society the minute they arrive to the US paying taxes on everything they buy as we do) I do however disagree w hospitals seeking for nurses out of the country (for what I heard this is happening currently)... That is all guys just wanted to give my 2cents... Good luck to all of us who are still hunting and great job to those who already have one :)....

I heard they will be accepting applications in Nov/Dec for Feb/March start dates. Best thing to do is contact HR to ask b/c they don't post it anywhere.

Thanks BNice74. I wonder if they don't post it because they don't want so many applications this time.

@ willowlove: They didn't post it last time either and I heard they have 1200 applicants. Of those 1200 they only invited 300 to open house for an interview and of those they hired 80 people!! :uhoh3:

Hey everyone, I talked to the nurse recruiter and she said that the open house is May 21st. Hopefully they make decisions fast so we all have time to plan. Good luck to everyone. Hope the skills survey email thing worked.
