I was hoping the new post in this thread was you reporting that you got a position, Bella!! I hope you hear something soon.
For me, I was offered a position at Lakewood! I signed all the new hire paperwork on Thursday. The HR rep said she wanted to go ahead and get my paperwork out of the way early, so I don't think they've hired all the positions yet.
Good luck to everyone else in the running! I hope to hear that we'll be coworkers soon :)

That is awesome!! I'm so glad to hear you got the job!! :yeah: It feels good, huh?

I actually already accepted a position at another hospital closer to my home a few days after that interview. I just signed all my paperwork and had my physical done last week. I start tomorrow! Good luck to you at Lakeview! It is an invaluable opportunity. I wish, if they had offered me a position, that I lived closer, but the commute would have been a killer.

Good luck to everyone else who is awaiting a decision!! :redbeathe

Congratulations Bella!! That's great to hear! Good luck tomorrow! :yeah:

I see you live in Covina....I live in Azusa, so I understand the commute issue. However, I'd rather have a long commute than no job at all...and I'm very excited about starting at Lakewood.

Yay for both of us! And the best of luck to usRNs, and all the other new grads :)

You are correct NMW..!! A job is better than no job! :yeah: I actually got hired at CVHP and the hospital I'm assigned to is literally down the street from my house so I'm so ecstatic. Today went well. The people are really friendly and seem to want you to succeed. Already got my schedule for the next 4 weeks. It's so exciting to finally say I'm a working RN! I am truly excited for you and hope that your journey is a great one. I'm praying for that as well for me and everyone else starting out. :heartbeat

All I can say to everyone out there that's looking for a job is put yourself out there. Don't give up. Go to your favorite hospital. Dress professionally, be humble, and cause that great first impression with the recruiter or assistant recruiter. They are observing you, your eagerness, and your professionalism. You just might land an interview. Keep on trying and you will get far. Don't EVER, EVER give up. :lol2:

Good luck to everyone!!

Hmmm... I see that I have 2 missed calls from the HR dept at Lakewood Regional. Wonder what that means? Just left a message to see what it's all about.

Got offered a job at Lakewood Regional in their Med-Surg or Telemetry Depts. Too bad, I can't accept. :crying2:

I'm sure this will help somebody else get the opportunity and I'm happy about that. Thrilled for that person. :yeah:

NW, it would have been nice to have met you. We probably could have carpooled together. :redbeathe

Hi everyone. Congrats to those that got accepted. I was wondering how you found out about Lakewood's new grad program. Does someone have the nurse recruitment number that they can pass on. Im looking into hospitals the have new grad programs and would like more information for this one. Thanks in advance.
