When does the New Graduate Program for Nurses usually start in hospitals?

I want to find a job as an entry-level nurse in a hospital here in San Fernando Valley in California. I would like to know when the New Grad Program usually start.. I heard they have it twice a year like Kaiser Permanente. But I would like to know when exactly.. And please.. what hospitals offer a great New Grad program for nurses? Thanx!

1. Kaiser starts in oct in the bay area but really think about this, kaiser is really bad. try going for county or state hospital where they will have better benefits (retirement and all) if you work for kaiser, chances are you will need to work until you're 66 or maybe 70 yrs old to get the SS..for county or state you can retire as early as 50 yrs old ..think about this ! yes kaiser pays more but retiring early is greater deal..
2. The UC systems have excellent training programs. I believe they start their training programs in July and February. As a new grad, it is important you get a strong foundation in knowedge and clinical experience in the specialty of nursing you will be going in to. Kaiser just does not have that.
