Southern California Hospital at Culver City or Community Hospital at Huntington Park

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

Any thoughts on these establishments?

I have a job offer from each but don't really know much about the hospitals. I was hoping somebody on here has some insights.

I'll be working nights on the telemetry floor as a new grad. They both have about a week or two of orientation and 10-12 weeks with a preceptor. Traffic wise, Culver City is a bit longer. Didn't get much of a feel for either of the floors when I went for an interview. Culver City has a higher rate but after a year, Huntington Park will exceed Culver City's rate due to quarterly raises.

Culver City seems like it has a bad reputation from what I read online like indeed.com and Glassdoor.com.

Huntington park barely has any reviews, it might be because the hospital is so small (it's an 81 bed hospital).

I would appreciate if anybody gave me some insight. If you are currently working there or previously worked at either of those two places, or you just heard from other nursing friends. Feel free to personal message me if you don't feel comfortable posting. Thanks in advance.

That's so good to know. Thank you so much for the information!!!

Yay! I'm glad you got day shift. I'm hoping for it too. My interview is a lot later than most, considering the program is starting soon, but hopefully there are still some day shifts open!

I'll keep you updated on how my interview goes. Thank you again for the help :)

Have you also applied anywhere else? I did, but to get an interview at another location take weeks.

I have. Yeah, I'm currently still applying but the process is long everywhere.

How long did it take for you to get an offer at Culver City? It seems as if they move faster than most hospitals.

Yes. The process is long everywhere. I applied to Culver City two weeks ago. I had my interview last Thursday and then on Monday I got the call for an offer. I received my offer letter yesterday and I accepted.

Wow that's really fast. I'm happy for you.

Did you get a tour of the place during your interview?

I got a tour of the unit. I met two RNs (seemed really nice) it's a small hospital, but despite the reviews I read I heard the nurses are extremely helpful to new grads.

That's reassuring to know. There are a lot of different reviews but I'm sure we can make it work!

Same thing I said. Just have to really apply ourselves.

Exactly! I really hope I get it so we can work together. It's always helpful to know at least one person in a new environment!

Agree...fingers crossed í ¾í´ží ¼í¿½

Hi! I just finished my interview. Was yours very informal? Lol I barely got questions asked.

Yes it was very informal. It was two managers who interviewed me, but we joked a lot. So do you think you got it? Did they say you will be hearing back from them?
