Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

[SDnurse2011]

Hello fellow new grads!

I'm starting this post to round up all the applicants for the 2013 cohort at Scripps in San Diego. I called HR today and they were rather tight-lipped about when the application would post, and was told "It will post in about 30-45 days" and to "keep checking the website". Enlightening, isn't it? Also to those who applied for the last round and will be re-applying, any tips you want to share for us newbies? thanks and I look forward to hearing from everyone that's just as stressed as I am.

My interview is Monday and I'm super nervous. I'm planning on brining a portfolio for the managers but I'm not sure if they will have time to look at it.

Just talked with my friend who works there.

She says the interviewers will tell the talent managers who they want, and the talent managers will make the calls.

So it sounds like the people on the panel will be the ones making the decision. Hmmm.... Good to know, though I don't know quite exactly what to do with that information. Try to make them fall in love with me, I suppose.

You guys are awesome for sharing this info.! I interview on Monday as well. Coffee sounds like a good idea!

Actually, if we make it through this, I'm thinking a few shots of good whiskey.

It would be a good idea to have an extra resume or two (or whatever you're bringing) just in case. I didn't see more than 5 at a table yesterday.

Thank you for all of your help! I wish us all the best of luck!

The first time I interviewed, I forgot to pass out my résumé. Don't do that people. My interview was about 12 minutes long. Good luck to all.

Do you pass it out at the end of the interview or at the beginning so they can reference it while you're talking? Sorry...first nursing interview ever

Can anyone who has done clinicals or lives in the area give some background on specialities for each facility or some info on the culture of the facilities.

Come in, shake their hands going around the table. Pass out your résumé, then sit down. They did ask me questions centered around my résumé the second time around.

Go onto the Scripps website and research stuff. There are many different facilities and each facility has different units they specialize in. That should help you out :)
