RN Looking to Return to Acute Care – Advice Welcome!

Published

UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Hi everyone,

I'm a licensed RN in Southern California looking to return to acute care nursing (med-surg/tele) after being away since 2020. I have previous hospital experience and am eager to get back into the field.

I'd love advice on:

Hospitals open to hiring nurses returning after a break

Refresher or re-entry programs in SoCal

Whether registry/per diem work could help as a first step

Recommended certifications beyond BLS/ACLS

If you've been through this or have any tips, please share — I'd really appreciate it!
