   Salsacat replied to BoBayla's topic in New Nurse

   To all out of state applicants... San Diego has a plethora of new graduates who are local and don't get jobs either. Those who do have worked, volunteered, or precepted in the hospital. I have 15 years of health care experience, including as an LVN, ...

   Salsacat replied to Salsacat's topic in New Nurse

   The New Grad posting appeared on their website; New Grad programs in California may only appear a few times a year -- you just have to keep checking back. You can try calling Human Resources and asking when the next posting is. Good luck!

   Had my second interview for med-behavioral yesterday. No offer at this time, but it's going to take awhile (could be 1-3 weeks) for a decision. Different schedule for different units. P.S. Congratulations!!!

   Not me. But, someone posted anonymously on a New Grad RN Interview FB site asking about Mary Birch interview questions, so I assume that they got an interview.

   I got a call for a second interview with med behavioral for next week. So each unit definitely has its own system:-)

   I think it is all unit specific. Did they tell you you needed a second interview?

    I interviewed last week for the medical behavioral unit and was told that if I "passed" I'd be contacted for interview #2 within 1-2 weeks. References will come after that interview if I'm chosen to move forward. It is not a short process to be sure!

    I have an interview scheduled this week as well -- med behavioral. My status didn't change. Comically though, my status from my JULY application finally changed! :-) I wouldn't go by the status...

    I haven't. But, I spoke with the recruiter last week, and she said that she was still going through the applications. She said there won't be interviews until January.

    I love stories like yours. Stories where people genuinely change, and put in the time and hard work necessary to change their own lives and circumstances. Congratulations!

    an FYI for anyone who applied to the Chula OB unit: they are apparently overstaffed and not going to hire this round (despite posting). So if that was your one unit.... they aren't hiring:-(.
