Hi everyone. i just passed Nclex-RN...Im seeking for your advise regarding on what's the next step to make. as of now, ill enroll into a BLS training...is their any new grad program/RN jobs that do not require experience. I am in Southern California, in San Fernando Valley.. Thank.

Well for sure have your BLS, some jobs want ACLS too, but that is up to you if you want that additional training.

I would do an online general search rn new grad california 2011 jobs and typically new grad positions show up especially on the link indeed.com

I would also look into hospitals out of state if possible to get a job. There are some hospitals out of state that hire out of state people with their RN license

I would call hospitals (found on the links below) and see if they hire new grads and if not, when they will.

Well good luck, I am also doing job searching myself as well.

There is some info about some new grad positions and also there is a link that takes you to page that has links to all the California hospitals.

Yes, there are a few hospitals hiring, but you will have to do some work to find them.

If you have facebook, like the group new grad rn+ they have a lot of discussions about new grad programs in california.

Try looking at the hospitals with a versant RN residency programs and see if they have programs active. You can find them at this link here:

Also, see if some of the Magnet recognized hospitals have new grad RN residency programs active too. These hospitals are usually teaching hospitals and typically treat new grads well.
