Cedars-Sinai New Grad Summer 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

Just thought it would be helpful to post a new thread for the upcoming new grad program starting this summer. I've seen the thread for the program last year and wanted to see if anyone was one of the first 250 who applied for it this year. I applied for cohort #1 and got a phone interview last week and the gentleman said that I'd receive an e-mail within 1-2 weeks. I've also heard of people getting rejection emails as well without a phone interview. Anyone have additional info they'd like to share? Good luck to all us new grads out there!

Has anyone look for housing yet? Any ideas about where to live that has a decent commute/isn't too expensive?

Anyone know how many phone interviews they're doing vs. how many people go to open house?

Just had my phone screen. For future phone interviewees, they asked questions about what makes a good employee, conflict resolution, and decision making, in addition to the "why Cedars?" and "why you?".

The woman said that they screened over 100 candidates (not sure how far over 100), but she didn't say how many people were getting invited to the open house. Hopefully there will be information about that in the email that it sounds like they're going to send out later today.

Just had a phone interview around 3pm

Just have a phone screening around 3:15ish...The nurse recruiter said something about having 70 more calls to make:)

70 more is a lot! When I asked the recruiter I did my phone screen with what the next steps were, she said we would be hearing in about a week and that it would be through email. Sounds like we are getting conflicting reports! Lol I hope they send an email today, just so I do t have to wait in anticipation any longer! But if they are still doing phone interviews this afternoon, I don't know what to think? Haha

Well I got just the email for a second interview on the 15th, so never mind my previous post! lol

just wanted to ask those who applied for cohort 2 ... was anyone from out of state?

Gastro2012: The lady that did my screening said that they would contact people by email starting on Monday. Lol We definitely got conflicting reports :sarcastic:

I'll be there on Wednesday too! My time slot is at 4:30 pm -- I'll be biting my nails all day for sure!

@kdawsonRN, to answer your question, I'm not out of state but I am in SF, so it's not terribly close. Not sure if you were asking for license reasons or geography reasons or whatnot...

Got my rejection :( I need to practice how to answer those types of questions! Idk if I'm answering them the way they want to hear.

Sandymicky ~ first and foremost congrats!!! I am sincerely happy for you getting into the first cohort :) I've just been informed that I've been invited for an interview this Wednesday and my immediate reaction was sheer happiness and feeling very blessed followed immediately by nervousness and anxiousness. Most of all I'm concerned about the types of questions to expect and instantly thought about how much I have forgotten these last 5 months and the need to cram this weekend. Lol. Do you have any feedback or advice for me? Hope u don't mind replying to my email but would sincerely appreciate it if I could hear from you. Email - [email protected]

Once again congrats and i really hope I can get through the interview successfully and join you in the program!!! Just thinking about it makes me smile :)
