Hello California!

[sunrayrn]

Hi,

We just moved to the Chico- Paradise- Orville area. My boyfriend and I just relocated to California from Oregon. So far we are loving it!

We are looking forward to making new friends, to hang out with. I just wanted to say hi to everyone and hopefully make some new friends!

**Also any tips on how to get hired at the Enloe Medical Center, Feather Rivers Hospital or Orville Hospital, are greatly appreciated! ( As I have applied for all hospitals w/ no luck ):

Thanks,

SunRayRN

Welcome to sunny nice old California!

It really depends on your situation. If you are a new grad, good luck! If you are an experienced nurse, keep applying. Try applying a little further outside your range. Get a job, and then you can eventually transfer later.

Nice to "meet" you!

Thanks perioddrama :)

I do have close to 2 years of experience. I keep seeing Enloe has positions for only internal applicants..

Do you know if they are financially struggling? I'm not really familiar with the area yet but I also heard they were opening a new tower ( for inpatients) not sure if it's been opened yet or not...

Just curious when you say "try applying further outside of your range" what do you have in mind?

I am willing to commute that's no problem.

Thanks for your advice and nice meeting you too!! :)

I'm not from around that area, so I couldn't help you. You can try to look for news articles to see if anything pops up about Enloe. It's a long shot, but it's worth a shot.

Nurses are having a tough time finding jobs, even if one is experienced. No joke. So sad, but it's true.

So, try to apply outside your Chico- Paradise- Orville area.

Good luck job hunting with the rest of us!

And don't forget to make some time to sight-see!

Hi SunRayRN!

My husband and I also recently relocated to Chico, from Southern CA. I graduated nursing school in May and got hired here last month at a pediatric daycare facility. We might actually need another RN, so maybe you could try applying to my work in the meantime? I am also trying to get a job at Enloe or Feather River, with no luck so far. We should meet up sometime, as I also don't know anyone else in the area.
