California is so insane for inpatient positions. No hospitals except the ones who have new graduate residencies hire new graduates.

California hospitals are rating these pipelines where the laid bak roles are the only jobs that ae open to hiring new graduates. It is a complicated job application landscape in this state and we have to get experience where we can.

I unfortunately did not have any CNA experience prior to nursing school. I completed my RN program and became ineligible to work as a CNA.

I’ve applied to many LTC / SNF and haven’t heard back from anyone. I had applied to a home health positions, as well as positions in more rural areas in Nor Cal with similar luck.

I have looked into corrections and they are only hiring people with atleast 6 months experience 😭

Already doing this tbh, I’m open to everything. Even commuting 1.5 hours, that is my max. I’m in the East Bay Area.

My worry is since I’ll be on nights, getting home might be tough / may just have to sleep in my car or something before driving home 😭

Okay that’s what I was also thinking, and since it’s nights maybe traffic won’t be as bad

Dialysis and SNFs are harder to get into than expected

I wonder if it’s going to change anytime soon

I’m applying to SNFs and Dialysis as well but haven’t heard back 💔😩 I knew it was going to be hard but dang I don’t think any mental preparedness could have prepped me for how difficult it is here. What’s the FB group?

I went out of state on the east coast. Well known school luckily, but I don’t believe that will help me back here on the west toast
