I have an ADN from Los Angeles and am considering applying:typing...is it ridiculously hard to get in?

what would be those beachier towns? That sounds more my speed...

So where would I fall in being an American citizen AND an African American...I guess I shouldn't keep my hopes up. Thank you for the article.

I am definitely not giving up on Ventura...just approaching with a bit of caution. First thing I'm gonna do is check out those smaller hospitals because I dont want to rule out Ventura completely. This would be my first job I want my overall experience to be positive. I appreciate all the advice provided! So scared...but will push on! lol!:smiley_ab

Using spanglish/modified sign languge is probably the only skill I Perfected in nursing school!

That is strange that you would say that since I did ask about ICU positions and they were not forthcoming about those positions at all. I too was told of the "huge amount" of positions available in telemetry and medurg and was only interviewed for the med surg floors. All of that which you just described is what I was trying to avoid by moving to Oxnard. I figured even though I don't really want med surg I would have peace of mind...:stone Though on the plus side finally using my Spanish would be great...well I will have to definitely think this over. I have about two weeks.

Thank you so much for your input. It's a huge commitment for myself because I would have to stay a year and a half in Oxnard as part of my contract with them. I was born and raised in LA and am worried about adjusting to the environment and a new hospital all at once but was hoping to trade city life for a more laid back hospital. Now I am a bit worried.

please help! I have accepted a New Grad RN job in Oxnard @ St. john's Regional medical center. I plan to relocate from LA to Oxnaard, can anyone give me a heads up about St. john's regional Medical center? Is it a smart move?
