I live in San Diego so I'm gonna apply to a few hospitals here like Sharp and Rady's Children (they both have psych and you should apply too if you're fine with San Diego!). I'm not sure about hospitals in LA though because psych isn't a popular department for new grads... I'm gonna keep pursuing psych though because that's where all my experience aligns so I lowkey don't have a choice LOL. hbu?

I live in LA so SD would be a huge commute. I love it out there though. Sooo true. There really aren't many psych new grad programs at all in LA which is so unfortunate considering the need for mental health professionals ? My entire background is psych too LOL. I was thinking I might try to get into the ER & work that for a bit until I can make my way back into psych? Some of the psych units in LA are SO poorly kept & I'm not sure I want to go back to ones like that.

Has anyone found a link for the current (July 2022 - October 2025) contract that includes updated wage tables? The only one I can find has outdated wage tables, from 2018-2022.

Yeah the one hospital's new grad program I was betting on in San Diego with psych just opened for me to see that their psych unit isn't even hiring this cohort ❤️ honestly might look into working as a prison nurse lmao I don't wanna go to the psych units in SD too bc they're terrible

There are union mandated annual across the board increases. The wage tables in the UC/Cal Nurses Association contract include data for each year within the 4 year contract, unfortunately the wage table appendix that is currently available online  is outdated. https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/labor/bargaining-units/nx/docs/nx_appendix-a_wage-tables.pdf 

Last years September cohort of new grads started at $50 per hour, they are now making around $57 per hour. They have had two wage increases, one due to a union mandated increase (implemented in January, I believe) and then another once they hit the 6 month mark and are bumped up from Clinical Nurse I to Clinical Nurse II.

Oh okay cool! So it increases often it seems like. The new grads this cohort were offered $53.01 and Nicholas said it would raise to $56.63 after 6 months.

UGH, oh no ? Do you think you'll apply again to the UCLA new grad program? I think applications open up again soon but we would start in like Spring next year?? Is it weird that I kind of want to keep in touch with you somehow since you're like one of the only people I know pursuing psych too?! LOL

Does anybody know if UCLA does a self-scheduling system after we are done orienting? Also does anybody know how many uniforms we will receive for free doing full time, and if we are able to also wear dark blue figs if we run out of clean ucla scrubs?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking at applying for the next cohort, and have heard that they heavily take students that graduated from UCLA. 

Are there folks on here that got offers, but went to schools other than UCLA?

Thanks!

Hello! I went to a different school in SoCal and got an offer in their ambulatory surgery center!
