so cal has a ton of programs. none of which i would consider "easy" to get into. i do think that the county programs are a bit more open, as they are pretty typical county hospitals...not in the nicest area, lots of work, etc...but, so cal being what it is, lots of folks are going to want almost any job there.
i do think that the martin luther king hops is having serious issues with accreditation, probation at risk of closing, but i am not too current on the issue. perhaps someone else is more aware of what is happening there now?
i am just hoping to squeeze a few CA interviews out of my huge pile of applications i sent out. most programs are still sitting on them, only one offer so far.
