LA General New Grad Program 2025

Everyone, thank you so so much for the info I didn't know I had to send my exam score and other info to the recruiters. So now, do I still have to wait for the Aug cohort to be hired on a unit? Or could I possibly start sooner than that?

Anybody starting on April 16th have insight on what you do on the first day as a new grad? I understand we have to wear scrubs but not sure what the day will look like ..

I sent my initial email to the general recruitment email then reached out to follow up with my email I ended up getting a great recruiter told him what I wanted within a week he reached out to me about an opening in my second choice NICU , I wanted L&D as first choice I interviewed and got NICU just waiting to start it's a process though it's better to bug them. I have inserted pics of how to do it. Hope this helps and good luck!

You are a life saver LOL. I never knew we needed to send all of this in one go. Thank you so much! I already got my assessment results, so the rest should be easy to send in

I applied on Friday and did my assessment on Saturday. how long did it take you to get results? I followed up yesterday but haven't heard anything back yet

I did my assessment on the 7th and didn't get my results until the 15th. So wait for about a week. I'm hoping LA County hospitals still have open units for hiring because I intend on sending my assessment to hospital recruiters this week

I just got my exam results and I am in band 1? Do you know what I should do now? Do I email the recruiters like the other post said or should I wait?

Hello! How long did it take from when you first submitted the application to getting the WSA exam link?

less than 24 hours; wbu?

Oh that's frustrating on my end. In an hour, it'll be already 24 hours since I submitted my application. I got nothing so far ? Thank you so much for letting me know.

Must have been your kind words, I just got the WSA exam link, thank you :)!

I'm hoping for ICU, Stepdown, or med-surg/tele! Wbu? and in regards to your post after you said you were placed in band 1, I think you should email the recruiters. I emailed them asking for a timeline while I wait, but they said to email your band results, resume, RN license cert, and nursing school diploma (which the issue for me is we don't get our nursing diploma till at least 3 months after grad and I just graduated last month, so I'm a little stuck there, but we'll see how it goes.) after getting your WSA results.

YAY!! Me too! but really really hoping for ICU ); maybe we will start together. I just called HR and they said there is nothing more for me to do, that the hiring managers will reach out soon especially since I am in band 1 I guess they hire from that group first. I think maybe I will still email? I don't have my diploma either but I have my transcripts showing I graduated. I just graduated last month too! are you LA based or OC? I'm in OC but don't mind the commute, I think this opportunity is worth it
