Awesome! Was the email in addition to the one regarding orientation on Monday? I haven't received any email from the unit. Did they provide you with a schedule? My apologies for all the questions. 

Yes, I got a total of two emails. The one from the floor administrator has the schedule for the week. Mainly doing orientation and modules 8-5pm (except Friday, per email meet at 7 am on the floor).

Does anyone know what to wear for the first day of orientation? I'm not sure if it's business casual or just scrubs. I know it says scrubs starting Wednesday but unsure of Monday. Thanks! 

I'm wearing scrubs. It easier that way 🙂

Congrats to all those who are starting tomorrow. If you folks have a chance. Could you ask roughly when the application for the next cohort will be?  Thank you in advance

Does anyone internal know when the next cohort app opens? I saw it was posted that it would open 10/14 but I've been checking every hour since yesterday and nothing.

For the ones who didn't get into the SoCal KP New Grad Residency, where else have you been applying? I was one of the finalists for KP South Bay but didn't get it unfortunately. Been applying everywhere else to no avail, and I'm worried that I'll have to wait until next year to get into a program.. (trying to work asap LOL). I'd love any tips on where else to look!

Hello, 

Anyone knows if we need to get our EKG and ACLS certification before applying? 

Not KP, but LA General Medical Center (LA County) is offering new grad residency program, you just have to pass their examination. I heard they are having mass RN hiring until they fill the vacant posts. You might want to check them out.

Hello new grads! Next cohort for KP new grad (SCAL and HI) is open to internal candidates 12/9-12/15 for April 2025 start date. External candidate apps open 12/13-12/15. Candidate snapshot open 12/18-12/20 and must be completed to be considered. If selected for an interview, interviews would occur 2/3-2/14.

These were the dates that were passed along by the educators. Dates may change but can confirm that if KP receives more than enough applicants, they can close the app early. Best of luck!
