1. SHARP Winter 2013/2014 New Nurse Residency

   reeki replied to SD_RN13's topic in California

   Some units on Sharp will randomly post new grad positions during the year, particularly Mary Birch. I would check at least a few times a week.

2. SHARP Winter 2013/2014 New Nurse Residency

   reeki replied to SD_RN13's topic in California

   The NICU at MB posted a new grad position last week that was separate from Sharp's original application process. Unfortunately it looks like they already closed that application. Perinatal Special Care is a unit that cares only for high risk antepar...

3. Sharp NICU New Grad

   reeki replied to stephiem's topic in California

   el_pom: I live in San Diego and already work at Sharp Mary Birch which I believe really helped. They did tell me they had people coming from the east coast to interview, so you still have a chance if you apply to Sharp again even if you don't live in...

4. Sharp NICU New Grad

   reeki replied to stephiem's topic in California

   I'm not on this forum often but I just came across this thread. I interviewed for the training program last week and was offered a position. However, there were two different positions posted: a new grad nicu training program and a nicu training prog...

5. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

   reeki replied to nicole15's topic in Online Learning

   I was hired for Sharp's new grad program at Mary Birch 4 months after graduation and start work in a week. Three of the five new grads hired on my floor were from OU but I know that most of the people in my cohort didn't even get interviews for the p...

6. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

   reeki replied to nicole15's topic in Online Learning

   I agree that it is best to take the NCLEX asap after graduation but a few weeks wait won't make or break you. My main point was that in the grand scheme of things a 6-7 week wait really isn't very long. Even if they changed the program to include thi...

7. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

   reeki replied to nicole15's topic in Online Learning

   Maybe things have changed in the past couple years? I don't know. I graduated August 3, got my test code to sit for the NCLEX in the beginning of September and actually took the test on September 25 (although I could have taken it as early as Septemb...

8. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

   reeki replied to nicole15's topic in Online Learning

   The OU SD program would hold a weeklong ATI review course at the school site or you could sign up for a virtual ATI review course, and we were given a discount for both. I did not take any review courses for the NCLEX so I really cannot tell you if t...

9. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

   reeki replied to nicole15's topic in Online Learning

   I am a graduate of the SD OU program and have a few things to add. While the program was very frustrating and unorganized, it is a good program academically. If you take it upon yourself to do the work and reading (you already know it's an online pro...

10. Who got a job?

    reeki replied to abcdwakwak's topic in California

    I was lucky enough to get two new grad position offers (one in med/surg and one on a perinatal special care unit) and I got each of them through applying online. I have heard that it is much easier to at least get to the interview process if you know...

11. Another Newbie - San Diego, Need Advice Please!

    reeki replied to Round3's topic in California

    There are ADN programs at City College, Grossmont College, and Palomar College that I have heard great things about. However, there is a 2-3 year wait list for each of these colleges and you have to have your prerequisites done before you can even ge...

12. Any new grads from University of Oklahoma: ABSN program?

    reeki replied to nursing_hopeful's topic in California

    I graduated from the San Diego ASBN program through OU a couple months ago, so I cannot tell you that much about the Glendale program but I do know they have the same schedule and curriculum. Although the program was pretty unorganized it was well wo...
