Hello all, As I have mentioned in previous psoting i am a New Yorker hoping to move this May to California. I am still looking to hear about Central Coast CA, and San Diego. I totally understand as a new grad i need to pay my dues on a med surg floor however i am looking to move on to the ER/OR. I am looking to join a hospital with the following critiera: 1) Great training program for new grads 2) Large hospital that offers a wide array of services. In addition i would greatly apprecaite anyone who would like to provide weblinks to other things i need to be thinking of that the state of CA requires, as i mentioned up above i am from NY and i am not sure of all that is required i noticed some people mentioning "PALS" which I have never heard of before. THANKS IN advance i am looking forward to the many responses. :typing

It would be great if you could please provide me with names of hospitals and the towns that way i can look them up. I am from the subers of NY and i am really looking for guidance on areas to look into. Thank you in advance for any information you can give me. :)

Do you think you can name some hospitals in the LA area that you have heard have good training programs for new grads such as: , ER nursing, PACU. I think that is the area i have interest in. Thanks
