White Memorial- RN New Grad 2013

Published

Hi everyone! Who else has applied and does anyone know by when will they start to contact us for interviews? This would be my last chance to get into a new grad program, otherwise I would have to wait til the summer. So please feel free to post anything and everything here! Good luck to everyone!!

lizzyxpooh: My friend is a new grad in the ICU and the $25/hour starting pay, and then a $4/hour pay increase after 8 weeks is the same for all the new grads. I have no information on differential rates for nights or weekends, once the new grad program is complete:/ I know as a new grad everyone works day shift (especially since there are classes) and they do end up working some weekends (btw, my friend never mentioned getting paid more to work weekends).

Yes, as new grads we can't be too picky, but on the bright side my friend thinks the new grad program there is amazing. She says that they really create a great learning environment and that the preceptors are usually pretty awesome:)

I have an ADN! It was the first school that accepted me...and I definitely was not going to play the waiting game for a BSN program. I know hospitals are moving to magnet, I hope WMMC at least gives me a chance :unsure: I guess we'll see!

I'm going to be an ADN too...come May when I graduate.

My friend who is in the new grad program at WMMC said that a few ADN nurses were hired too (not sure how big the cohort is). So, if nothing has changed since the last new grad cohort it appears that White does give ADN graduates a chance:)

Interesting that White Memorial (being in LA) has the same pay as SJCH in Bakersfield. :-P (Except you start off at $29.46 as a base there in their new grad program, with 10% differential for nights and weekends.)

I don't think there's a time limit, so the sooner the better probably. I thought I remembered reading that the questionnaire would be "graded" on content as well as promptness of turning it in.

Thanks, RNurse7-

That's good to know! Thanks for sharing about your friend who was a new grad there.

So the educator and staffing on the floor are very supportive? How high are their expectations for us new grads? How long is preceptorship again? I forget with all these applications. lol.

Im asking bc some hospitals will drop you in a beat if you're not top notch. :/

As long as we get the support, Im all for it! :D
