Hey Tamm, I know that LIJ does a critical care fellowship program.. but that's all I really know of. Other hospitals are really hit or miss. I have been having a hard time trying to get into the ICU here, and I might have to accept a different position and then transfer after I get some experience (hopefully to CA!) Does anyone know how much experience is necessary before they will consider an out of stater? and thth, thanks for the advice! I think I'm going to do a year here and then try again..

Thanks for all the information! I appreciate all of your input, even if it is a little discouraging.. I was looking to apply to southern and central ca, I will just have to apply to many and expect a lot o rejections

Hey all.. I'm new to this site, so here's a little bit about myself.. I graduate from nursing school in May, and I live in NY. I am looking to move to CA and hopefully find a position in an ICU there. I don't really have much information about CA hospitals, but I know here in NY a few hospitals do an ICU internship program that they offer to new grads and experienced nurses. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was anything offered like that in CA? Also, if anyone knows any hospitals that are willing to hire new grads to their ICU I would appreciate the information! I am looking to take my boards in June and then hopefully come to CA to continue my job search/interview over the summer. I just want to get as much information right now as I possibly can so that I am prepared! Thanks! Katie
