Noodling around today and found that Hoag Hospital is having an information session for new grad RN's entitled "Positioning Yourself for Limited Career Opportunities in Nursing." It's set for August 29 in Irvine and there are limited spots. I don't know how many total there are, but when I signed up about 2 hours ago, there were 155 left. I don't know if this is truly just an info session or if managers will be there to maybe accept resumes. Anyhoo, here's the link http://www.hoag.org/careers/rn-new-grad-information-session

Thank you very much for the information, Mrs. Badcrumble! When I signed up there was still 154 spots. I've heard great things about Hoag and this information session sounds like a great opportunity. Thanks again!

I went to the last one and you do get to meet with managers, but it's a little bit of long wait and you only have a few minutes to make an impression.
This is some advice from one of my buddies who got a job there. Bring a handful of resumes. They didn't do it when I went but if they have you write down questions, talk about how you want to serve the community in a policy driver manner, and transition from being a novice to expert nurse in your field.
Know what units are hiring. Emergency room I believe is always hiring, not to sure about the other departments. There are booths set up for each unit. Sit close to the booth that you really want to talk to because each line gets ridiculous long. Hope this helps! Good luck.
Thank you, sweetie! I remember looking at the posts from several months ago and it's very helpful to have some idea of what's to come. I do hope things are going well for you!

@du_girl: I got a confirmation email, but it took a couple days
I received my confirmation email the next day after signing up. They even sent me 3...so perhaps they are having some technical issues...
@nicolemcwhite: Thanks! I received mine!
@JSRN17: I did receive 3 emails as well. I thought it was only me.
Maybe I'll see you there!

Anyone know if you are required to attend the info session in order to apply there? Whether you do or don't, how do you apply anyway?
I look forward to the information session and also to meet some fellow new grads!
For additional information on Hoag and their information session please view the thread below starting page 4, hope this helps!
California's 2011 New Grad Program
As it turns out, I just got offered a job today, a truly fabulous job, and I shall not be attending the Hoag New Grad information session. I don't know if all the spots were full, but I emailed them to cancel my registration so if there's someone who wants to go and couldn't get in before, contact them and see if you can now! Best wishes to us all!
