New Grad Programs

Published

Hello Everyone,

I have recently passed NCLEX and was wondering if anyone knew of any New Grad RN programs in California (Northern and Southern). I currently live in the Bay Area and would love to stay up here but if I have to relocate down south to get experience then I am willing to. Any and all suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Google "New Grad RN residencies in California" and "California new grad nurse jobs" and stuff like that and apply. It may take you a while to find a job. Just keep applying and applying and applying. It may take like a year. Be prepared for a long search and stay calm. Apply to like 3-5 jobs a day or more. And you may have to move out of state.

Thank you very much! I have been applying to jobs like crazy.

Check the hospital websites daily, and be ready to apply when you do see the new grad residency posted. Hospitals often post these with little fanfare, and they're not up for very long: often a week or less. So you need to be prepared to act immediately.

UCLA has a large new grad residency. I believe there is one in San Diego, too.
