oh okay.. but you have greater chance to get hired because you somehow just recently graduated. :) lets update each other as to where else we can apply. :) thanks again!

thank you for the reply. i just applied with CHLA and they are the ones who told me that they changed the pre-requisites for the program.. they wont consider you if its been more than 2 years since you graduated. good for you, you already got a job. any ideas where i could get a refresher course? i mean its a bit impractical though to waste more time and money for it. ugh! i really dont know what to do anymore! i was soo happy when i passed my nclex the 1st time after 3-4 years without studying, but here comes this new rules! best of luck to you! if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Hi there! We have the same dilemma... i graduated 2007 from nursing school. and i migrated in the US and just recently took the nclex and passed it the 1st time. i also have a BLS certification. but unfortunately every hospital i applied to says that im not qualified for the new rn residency program because of the length of time i graduated. but i have no hospital-base experience, so i cannot be also qualified for the other rn positions. im also from los angeles. if you dont mind me asking, where did you apply? i guess the best would be to apply first on nursing homes? please help me. thanks
