Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

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.

Coriander: Yes they did nod and smile! At one time they wrote something in unison as soon as I answered a question. I hope that's a good sign. When I mentioned Scripps Values they all looked very pleased. I got 2 cards from chula and green, the other two just wrote their info on there.

Christine19, I agree with you. I was following this thread silently at first. Coriander has been so informative and positive! Thank you Coriander!!

If they asked you if you can work nights that's a really good sign, I didn't get asked that. Zip pity do you remember when we got called in there. I looked at my watch when I came out but not when we went in. Was it 12:30 or later? Cause I came out at 1. I wish I had told one extra story -- but I think there is always something you wish you had added. It was way better than my first interview I had at a different hospital. I really blew that one ;)

has anyone received a call yet???....haha j/k!!! I won't start panicking every time my phone rings until tomorrow. LOL. OR every time my phone alerts me to a new email. Shots of whiskey sound good right about now =)

Yeah, I haven't had a drink in about 6 months but some wine and a cigarette sound good after all that ;)

HI B217, I think we share the same interview panel--I too had a female, a manager at Chula Vista, a female (a supervisor of PICU) and a male. The mgr from CV smile and asked me lots of questions...hard questions I've never heard of before. She also asked me what shift, if I'm able to work during the holiday, on wknd and night? IS this a positive sign?

The rest was just too busy writing or reading something to look up at me. I was myself and even though i should have sell myself more....i didn't do it...i felt rush....the PICU supervisor actually gave me a hint to hurry up as she kept checking her watch hehehe. My interview took no more than 30mins and it was a great learning experience!!!

It sounds like we all had interesting interviews, and that it's difficult to determine what the heck the outcome will be. Either way, it's been an adventure.

laogirlinsd: I originally posted I had a 5 panel interview, but I just realized that you are right. I did only have 4. haha I was way too nervous. I kept thinking I had 5. It didn't even click when I replied to coriander earlier. But yes that sounds like my panel. The one from CV did smile a lot but they all participated in asking the questions. She was the one who stopped the interview, and then continued to ask me about working nights, holidays etc.

I think you went in at 12:30. I was a few minutes after you. I finished at 1:11. Only two people on my panel, which bums me out slightly since I think that may decrease my chances.

Hello fellow new grads! I found this discussion board last night, and now I am obsessed! It is so comforting to read all of the posts. I can relate to so many of them. I had an interview at Scripps on the 30th! Of course, since then I have done the I wish I would've said this and that... This waiting period is causing my so much anxiety! Has anyone heard from Scripps since their interview? I am so anxious!

Welcome, ashpash. :) I'm happy you found us!

I interviewed on the 26th and haven't heard back yet. On the informational sheet they gave us, it said we would hear by the 7th, however another member said that it would be next week. I think it took them a few extra days last time around.

I'm anxious, too. It's so hard to ignore everything!

Wishing you the best.
