Kern Medical Center, Bakersfield 2014

Published

Does anyone know about how long it takes after the interview process to start orientation with Kern Medical Center?

Any info on the likes or dislikes of the facility? I can't find any info from 2014 such as pay, if they hire new grads, really anything. Thanks guys!

Are you a new grad by any chance? I currently live in Rosamond so the commute isn't going to be too fun. I am really hoping for nights too. I haven't heard too much about this hospital, except for the lay offs. I went to nursing school in Florida so I didn't get a chance to check out any of the local hospitals.

I tried to PM you. Not sure if you can receive the PMs yet? I know you cant send any until 15 posts but I wasn't sure if they could still be received?

OH geez, I hope it's not eight hour days! I was offered a position in the ED and I am a new grad. Does anyone know if July 28 is the only orientation date?

That's what I thought, July 28 but I don't know when we start on the floors. Hope it the next week!

Hi everyone. Just to let you know that I declined a position for the ED. Good luck to whomever gets it!

Did you accept another position? Just curious why you declined it, I don't know much about the facility.

Just wondering - who is going to orientation on July 28? And if you're going - what have you figured out for housing arrangements?! I'm panicking a little!

I live a little over an hour away so I'll be commuting, I'm definitely down to carpool! We will be looking into tehachapi but will be commuting for now.

Where will you be coming from? I am from San Diego... :S

Wow San Diego huh? What a culture shock going to Bakersfield huh? LOL I'm coming from the Antelope Valley, about an hour north of LA. There are some cheap apartments / townhouses here so that's why we are staying here for a while. I think Bakersfield is also cheap but I haven't looked into housing there. What made you choose KMC?

Honestly, I took it because of the ED position. Definitely a big culture shock! I guess I'll see you at orientation then!
