New RN training programs

[werdna0602]

Hi everybody my name is Andrew I'm a new RN. I graduated in Philippines on march 2007 then i came to US on June 2007. I took and passed my NCLEX-RN on Aug 2008. on nov 2008 until present i had my first job on a care home and rehab facility as an on-call. my goal is to work on a acute hospital but they hardly accept inexperienced RN. I am looking forward to a New RN training program. Can anyone help me or give me advice on what to do or where to go for a training? or how to get in a hospital? i live in Concord CA. i would greatly appreciate your help. TY!

I'm sure it varies by region; I'm in the Northeast and hospitals here usually offer new grad orientation programs. You don't really qualify as a 'new grad', as you have been licensed for half a year, but then again, I've seen it done enough it's not really a problem.

How you come off in an interview may make the difference in landing such a spot, or not. Good luck to you!
