I've sent out applications to all of the DaVitas and Fresnius' (maybe about 20 something in total?) in the vicinity, and nothing. I think the restructuring of Medicaid may be hurting them even more so...

Part of what makes this such a shock was that even the new grad market here was beginning to soften just very recently. Over 90% of the graduating cohort at my school last year were hired to work as...

The new grad market here (LA area) has essentially ground to a halt. In both my ADN and BSN cohorts, the only people to have landed actual new grad positions were those who had precepted there first;...

You mean in terms of getting hired? In apply to ER tech jobs, I've considered redoing my resume so as to leave out my RN education and license, as I am actually finding it more difficult to land...
Cool! I got their questionnaire this morning as well, strangely. I would have thought they'd do everything one stage at a time.
Congratulations, in any
Wait, is this equivalent to applying for a new grad position? Just wondering--sometimes, RN I listings require six months of experience, which is what I assume by default if the words "new grad"...
I'm only an ADN, but since my hospital cancelled my entire residency, I cannot even get interviews for CNA/PCT positions in acute care in the LA area.

For clarity, what she meant specifically was that hospitals preferred to within from internal candidates in good standing for new grad positions over those applying externally with sub-acute...
I applied to all four listings (Good Sam, Downey, Whitter, and Whitter's ED), and only got emailed questionnaires in response to two, for the record.
One from Good Sam, and one from Whittier's...

Thank you for your advice! While I'm aware you weren't only speaking to me, as someone who's been working acute care for years, I still wanted to offer this perspective on the issue:
I have,...

Be careful with this. It may be better to hire someone with not so much experience with your one company, as you don't know what kind of ties such an attorney who seemingly "specializes" in suits...

I should add--hospitals here, including the one I was originally going to work for, are laying off nurses in droves. This is what has me doubtful that things are going to get better any time soon, and...

I just want to add to this as someone in a similar position. I just graduated with my ADN from a public community college in California. While that has some prestige, hospitals typically prefer...
