NurseCubanita, Great point about PAID experience as being valid towards getting a job. Very helpful info to spread to all the desperate new grads looking to work for no pay.

I absolutely I agree LindaRN. I know that this is a new observation in California. I would hope that new grads would fight against this type of exploitation and not supports such practices. However, because of the extreme lack of jobs and the fierce competition, it may be highly likely that new grads will be willing to do ANYTHING to get an edge in getting a job. I would if the Strong unions in Northern California have any influence on such practices.

Hello fellow Nurses What's is your opinion about California programs that are utilizing New Grads without paying them. Because of the bad job market for new RN grads, there have been programs that hire new RNs to work 3 months or so without pay and without guarantee that they will be given a job. I understand that these programs may help new RNs gain experience and a foot in the door, but it seems convenient for hospitals to take advantage of the situation. Does anyone have any stats about the number of RNs who get jobs from these programs? Cheers
