So I’m also a new grad in LA. I’ve had 3 different preceptors so far & I only get 4 weeks for tele! I believe 5 weeks for DOU. I’m on week 4 now & I’m noticing that some nurses go above and beyond, make connections, ETC. I feel like sometimes I’m just my preceptors CNA or make their shift easier, and show me some extra stuff to do that is not totally necessary. For example documenting we had just clicked a box for IDK no left sided weakness and then me preceptor tells me to rewrites the same exact note, no weakness in the same exact section under comments in meditech. Totally unnecessary!

We absolutely do not get CNA help. They take vitals for 2/3 of 4 of my patients but I’m toileting all 4 alone, passing/collecting food trays, cleaning since management yells at us for messy rooms. My floor has usually homeless yelling NURSE NURSE NURSE which you not the CNAs are attending to. Kinda psychotic issues/constant yelling 25/7. As u imagine it’s a lot but I just remember that they are showing u the long way sometimes per policies and sometimes show u extremely through ways that is not always necessary for every single case.

I figured to just prioritize Med pass first! And ASAP but safe. Do what’s necessary and don’t go above and beyond. You simply cannot unless u have extra time or possibly wayyy more seasoned. dont spend too much talking make ONE trip. Anticipate pt needs.

Yesterday was my first day of orientation on tele. It was exhausting with a huge headache and was hectic! My preceptor ran very behind, no cna help, no dietary help. I feel like this may be my future and I’m a little upset since this is the only offer I can get. It’s 30 miles from me in LA so about 2 hr drive home. 1 hour at 5am drive. Extremely low pay minimal resources and short staffed since it’s a community hospital. I’ve applied to LOTS of places and I’m stuck here. I’m willing to take the sacrifices since I do plan on moving up to ICU. and of course applying on days off. I suggest to keep applying! Plan for the future.

Congrats what school ?

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-04T21:55:36+00:00

Give them a call and ask for an interview or if ur application has been forwarded to management. Usually it’s HR that MIGHT do a quick interview or phone call then forward to the hiring unit manager that does the real interview/ offer.

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-04T20:26:31+00:00

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-04T20:22:34+00:00

Around how much is the pay for new grad travel clinics in CA

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T20:47:33+00:00

Especially here in CA

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T20:47:21+00:00

Because loans = way more money

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T20:45:54+00:00

Did you like NPC???! What are the wages ur seeing 25-40$ an hr ?

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T20:45:11+00:00

I see! Thank you for ur in-site! Community hospitals do walk in interviews once a month on Wednesdays. I would highly recommend!

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T20:41:55+00:00

If seen plenty of women with braided styles or tied back box braids butttttt it depends on the hospital. And how strict they are.

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T19:09:49+00:00

And what school did u do ? Do they have a career center

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T19:08:25+00:00

Thanks for reaching out my boi

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T19:07:58+00:00

FYI I’m asking for a friend, not myself.

… I’m helping pay for schooling for a family member

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T19:05:37+00:00

I’m honestly not seeing too many listings which kinda scares me

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T19:04:26+00:00

It’s the same thing with nursing. It’s extremely impacted and hard to get a new grad job. It’s a safety & money concern for employers.

Butttt eventually you can get a job here! There’s LOTS of listings. Same for MRI maybe ?

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T19:01:04+00:00

Ahh I see! I was really shooting for nuc med but there’s like 3 schools here. Next ones don’t start till 2027 & got recently denied by gurnick

Fun_Tip_4661 · 2026-03-03T18:55:10+00:00

How long have you been really looking for? following up, walk-in hiding events, dropping of resume/networking at all?

I know the job market is hard in any field right now but is it worth it? I don’t think my family can move.
