Which hospital in L.A?

Published

hi all, i moved to l.a couty last year, passed nclex last month. i'm not sure which hospital should apply? i'm from north part of l.a county, wont go to la because of traffic. online research done, ruled out holy cross----low pay, ruled out olive-view----no extra pay if work for 12 hr shift. found that kaiser pay good, also benefit and retirement plan good, but cant find a good position....

a friend works in valley presbyterian hospital, she said it's good, and many open positions, i would apply it.

do you guys have any suggestion? really appreciate for your help!:icon_hug:

I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Encino/Tarzana Regional Medical Center. Based on all reports, it's a good place to work. Also, West Hills Hospital has a great working reputation.

I am making the assumption that you're somewhere in the San Fernando Valley.

Speaking as a student:

Many of my classmates are doing clinicals in West Hills, and they all hate it... They have a computer system for medications that is supposedly the nemesis of everyone working there (not just the students).

I liked working at Valley Presbyterian.
