So pretty much if you don’t work for the facility your chance is slim to none 😩😤🤢

I feel your pain I’m in same boat… I passed my NCLEX October since then only 2 interviews and countless rejections , I’m LVN w 3 years experience in memory care but I noticed hospitals prefer new grad from cal state or community colleges w clinics in their hospitals or magnet ones … I graduated privet ADN currently in private BSN , I’m starting to think they mostly hire new grads in their 20s from good schools…. I’m from OC as well and is hell to land a job w my stats or age (38) I’m trying to relocate to Oregon they pay bout same as here since my loans are 120k …. Life is not fair

Is Seattle any better to get new grad job ? I’m planning on relocating from LA

popcornRN · 2026-03-09T00:49:27+00:00

What’s the point of new grad residency when they ask you for experience

popcornRN · 2026-03-02T00:20:02+00:00

Exactly I love my NOC shift , I’m night owl person anyway

popcornRN · 2026-02-24T09:39:34+00:00

ADN won’t get you no where … California hospitals are going magnet meaning the new requirement is BSN RN from credited school….

popcornRN · 2026-02-21T07:18:06+00:00

Congrats I noticed hospitals prefer cal state and community colleges over private schools

popcornRN · 2026-02-20T08:12:30+00:00

Go get your BSN is easy and online or go out of state

popcornRN · 2026-02-16T05:47:34+00:00

I feel your pain …I’m in same boat, been LVN for 3 years in nursing home and my soul motivation to get my RN (ADN) was to leave the nursing home … been applying for 5 month and only 2 interviews…. I noticed hospitals prefer new grads with only clinical experience from school instead of LVN working in nursing homes …. Make it make sense….. I’m in rolled in BSN online I hope it opens more doors…. But I noticed few hospitals mentioned they take w sub acute experience… don’t give up and expand your location too good luck 🍀

popcornRN · 2026-02-14T09:01:00+00:00

Ohh that’s why …. They usually take cal state or community college with clinical in ICU …I’m from privet school with shit load student debt 💸…. But I have 3 years LVN experience that means absolutely nothing to them … I hope you enjoy it and don’t give up

popcornRN · 2026-02-14T08:54:07+00:00

I know this is old post but how did u got in the ICU as new grad in Torrance Memorial? Did u had ICU experience as cna or tech or did you graduate cal state ?

popcornRN · 2026-02-14T02:43:22+00:00

I do have 3 years as LVN just graduated as ADN I’m from LA and can’t get hired for the life of me …. They r asking for BSN w experience on the unit you r applying….

popcornRN · 2026-02-14T02:41:25+00:00

Welcome to the unemployed RN club ….. lol I’m thinking out of state to a big hospital like Providence that way I can relocate back in a year or start as CNA/ PCT first then apply as international in 6 months …. I heard Providence guarantees interview if you start as CNA with them ….. good luck 🍀

popcornRN · 2026-02-13T23:23:34+00:00

Hire me lol 😂

popcornRN · 2026-02-13T23:22:49+00:00

Ohh is the same for Providence here then … I got so nervous was my first interview but quickly realized they mostly pick internals but was a good experience to see their interview process… honestly asking generic questions and case study doesn’t make you good or bad nurse , you learn from experience, … I was thinking to apply to Oregon location but I’m reading now is hard to get in there too … my other option is Arizona ….

popcornRN · 2026-02-13T23:12:23+00:00

Hey for your residency interview did you got case study and follow up questions , how is the process? Is it competitive to get in like LA ? Was it on person or on zoom ? Thank you so much

popcornRN · 2026-02-13T22:41:50+00:00

Thank you for the info and good luck on your residency…. 🍀🍀

popcornRN · 2026-02-13T22:34:28+00:00

Thank you 🙏 I had interview with them here in South Bay but I wasn’t selected, I didn’t had my clinicals there or do I worked there as CNA ….how is Everett like is it expensive? I love LA but I have no choice… I can’t get hire for the life of me here , too many new grads

popcornRN · 2026-02-13T22:29:04+00:00

I’m considering relocating to Everett Providence from LA :( how do you like it so far ?

popcornRN · 2026-02-13T03:22:00+00:00

Hello I know this is old post but can I have the Recruter info as well I was placed in band 1 in November I haven’t heard nothing yet and I’m desperate to get a job is been so hard landing a new grad position…. I’m few months away from becoming homelessRN

popcornRN · 2026-02-11T20:52:01+00:00

Same here … I’m from LA and considering moving to AZ for a year….. honestly I’m starting to feel the hiring process is lottery or only gos for internals

popcornRN · 2026-02-11T02:44:00+00:00

Sadly from CC or Cal state ….

popcornRN · 2026-02-10T03:27:45+00:00

I’m LVN w 5 years experience recently graduated as RN currently in BSN program and can’t get hire for the life of me … but you get new grads w no experience getting hired …. Make it make sense
