How it works
We watch the hospitals, every day
We track new grad RN residencies at 261 California hospitals, reading their own pages and job boards three times a day. Every day we also scan over 11,000 job postings for new grad openings we might have missed. The few we still check by hand say so on their pages.
You tell us where you'd work
Pick your California regions once. That's the whole signup. No account and no credit card; alerts are free.
You get one email the day it opens
The moment a residency flips to open, you get the dates, the requirements and the direct apply link, while the window is still wide open. That is true for 96 of the 137 programs we list; the rest are hand-checked or unreadable and say so on their page.
Why the alerts are free, and staying free
Most residency windows are open for a week or two, and most new grads hear about them from a classmate or a Facebook group after they close. Nobody should lose a year of their career to a deadline they never saw.
Other sites charge nurses a monthly fee for this list. We won't. The listings and the alerts stay free, with no paywall between a nurse and a job. Want to support NurseGradAlert? Get Residency Ready. You walk away ready to apply the day your window opens. We keep the alerts free.
