Hi everyone! New grad here thinking about applying to La county’s ED. Has anyone else applied? Or is anyone currently working there? I’m curious as to what the environment is like and how long the training is for a new grad. There is nothing online about there being an official “new grad program” so I wanted to know if anyone could give me information. Anything helps. Thanks in advance!
NillaWafers said:LA General is on a hiring freeze, I am not sure if its DHS wide but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Regardless, I would apply so you are eligible in case anything changes.
This has been the case since March at least, correct? I'm presuming this means there haven't been any new grads hired since, and hence no program conducted during this time period? That makes it sound as though there could be a seriously significant backlog of new grad applicants in every band and potentially an entire cohort that has yet to commence.
As an applicant with an MDA, I haven't heard anything about this, so this worries me, I've only been instructed to follow through with the application process, and it would be a nightmare if my next possible start date was actually not until sometime next year (or if there simply were no jobs.)

Nope. You don't have to reach out, they'll call. But again, you can also reach out to them if you want to be proactive.

There's also Olive View. I don't have the e-mail or phone number, but you can easily just call the main hospital line and ask to be transferred to nurse recruitment.
