I personally didn't go but I heard there was a lot of people! They will have new grad programs in February, July, September, and November. The next session will hopefully have 15 positions available. I do not know if and when the apps for those will be available online, so if anyone went, please let us know!

I went. It was short and sweet. I went in and pitched myself to the two critical care directors for 20-30 seconds and that was it. I was lucky to be in front of line. Otherwise it would have taken probably an hour to drop off your resume. They were giving out handouts with the director's phone numbers on them...which as you know can be a great resource. There were alot of people there, but they did a good job of crowd control and time management.

thats great, I was going back and forth about signing up for it, and finally when I decided I would go... they closed down the pre-registration. Oh well.. I live in San Diego so its a far drive for me, but still... wish I couldve gone!

That sums it up well. I attended the one in April and I'm pretty sure its the same thing again. I was fortunate enough to get an interview but there were 5 positions for 300 plus applicants.

I went, like everyone stated it was short and sweet. Alot of people for no immediate job opportunities. They provided good info for job hunting stratedy and you got to meet dept managers briefly. Hoag is far for me but any new grad info session you can attend, you learn a little more.
