The LCOM New Grad program is great! I did it 3 yrs ago and am at San Pedro but we do the program with Torrance. To answer your question, no time and a half after first 8 hrs of 12 hr shift. $5/hr night time differential. Time and a half on holidays.

I did my 2012 preceptorship on the tele floor there and it was a great experience. Really nice hospital and yes they have CNA's. To answer the other question, yes they have a new grad program. in 2013 my new grad cohort from Providence Little Company...

Los Angeles: $42.50 (including the $5/hr night differential) an hour as a new grad ADN hire in my first year. Finishing my BSN in 3 weeks for which I believe I get a one time $1500 bonus.
Congratulations to all who were just hired on to be Epic specialists! I imagine some of you will be training me at some point in the near future:) Just something to think about, Late February was the month New Grad applications opened up at Torrance ...

There are 12 of us from Providence LCM San Pedro, not sure how many Torrance ended up with. We'll all be together for classes. Looking forward to meeting everyone :)
