UC Davis 2012

for those that interviewed for D12, is there any update so far? Were the top candidates already notified?

They have offered someone the job (not me) so onward and upward we go

anyone else have received called already? This is my second time interviewing with them... I just interviewed with them last Friday! Still no response.. im a little anxious

Finished the whole candidate process and got offered my dream job on the Medical ICU! I can finally let out a big sigh of relief after a year of searching. Everyone from the interviewers (panel of 6) to the residency recruiter were all very friendly and made things so much calmer for me. Received the phone call on Friday afternoon. If anyone else is starting on the same unit send me a pm! Best of luck to everyone on this difficult journey. Just be patient yet persistent and never lose hope!

Congrats dcolonrn! I just received a call from HR that I'm moving onto the next stage of online reference checks! Does anyone have any idea how many candidates usually make it to this point? It's obviously less than the number that interviewed but I guess I'm hoping it's a very small number since they are only choosing 2 candidates on my floor! Best of luck to everyone else still waiting to hear back!

I think every unit is different (one unit told me they were sending top 5 out of 12 but not sure if that really happened) but if you are doing the reference check I'd say you've got a good shot. What unit did you interview for?

I was just hired into the Nurse Residency program as well! Looking forward to meeting the other new grads and finally beginning to work as a nurse! :nurse:

Hello All!!! I am going to apply to the UC davis residency program in June I'm wondering for those of you who landed positions, how did the application process go for you all? I was wondering if those of you who took some time while not working as a nurse seemed to shed light on your time off while waiting for the residency program to begin

Thanks a bunch!

I graduated in December, moved back to CA and had a really difficult time with the CA BRN and getting my ATT so I was not eligible to sit for the NCLEX until the end of February. I basically spent that time studying for my test and then took a temp job as an independent contractor to be able to pay my bills while I applied to a ton of nursing jobs (since you can not have any nursing experience for most new grad positions.) I'm so, so thankful I only had to wait 6 months after graduation to begin a nursing job, I'm not sure what others who have been searching longer have done with their time.

Hey everyone,

I am graduating Fall 2013 with my BSN, and I really want to apply to this nursing residency program. How competitive is it? And what's the best way to get in? I'm trying to volunteer in two hospitals this summer to get some experience. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much.
