Too bad, none can share their experience about cvhp. I am just wondering why Citrus Valley Health Partnes and it's hospital in West Covina have a lot of open RN positions compared to the other hospitals in that area. Do they have problems with retention, are they expanding? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. I am plannning to join them, but Im having second thoughts...

i am currently an lvn student nurse at one of the 3 citrus valley campuses in west covina. :nurse: i will tell you that about a month ago there was this huge scandal with rns, lvns, rts, cna's, etc. that work for these 3 specific hospitals. they were either fired or they quit because they were caught with fake cpr cards. :imbar i don't know if that's the cause of all the open rn positions, but i read in the newspaper that they were out about 100 or so people.

:nurse: Well, at Queen of the Valley, I've only been an outpatient, so I can't tell you how it is to work there. They were a little slow in the ER department but I guess it all depends on what you're there for and who is available to see you at the moment. The triage is OK I guess. The hospital changed campuses I think about a year ago so I'm trying to remember my experiences there cuz I went there a lot.

I have worked as a student at Intercommunity in Covina. The staff on the 2nd floor were not as friendly or so I heard. It seemed to be more hectic on that side. :no: The staff on the 3rd floor were friendly and helpful. It is a nice environment and I guess typical of a med-surg unit. I think on the second floor there is an oncology unit, med-surg split into North and South units: one of them being orthopedics where I worked. On the orthopedic side is where there are less patients and more equipment to go around. It's a more "quiet" environment. :p

I am now assigned to Covina Rehab, right behind Intercommunity, which is more sub-acute and long-term care. It is a nice environment. :wink2: The nurses and staff are super helpful and so grateful that we are there to help. :yeah: There is a constant need for supplies as they are terribly under-financed so you have to scramble to get them while they last. 2nd floor is sub-acute with pts. on vents and trach'd. There are some pts. there for rehab that get therapy every day. I have yet to go on to the 3rd floor which is LTC. That will be in about 4 weeks. I "heard" that they were not as nice up there but I don't know that for sure. :scrying:

I haven't gone to the other campus in Glendora, but I hear from some of my classmates that it is a nice hospital and that they want to work there if they can after graduation.

Hope this helps..!! :wink2:

Thanks so much for sharing. I dont know if I am going to accept the job or not, because it's a little farther than my current hospital. I really dont mind the people (it's a given that there's a lot of personalities out there) it's the set-up am worried about and the benefits. Also, I will be taking calls and my position depends on census so Im worried about being called-off.

Thanks again!
