   No, once you have more than 6 months experience you can apply to any open position that you are qualified for. I didn't know that until I called and spoke with HR because I didn't know what to apply for. If you get hired into a position, you will st...

   On small piece of advice from someone who went through the interviews twice..On the first interview I totally "blew" a question and know it before I even left the interview so I was prepared the next time. Now I have now been working at Thornton sinc...

   Did you get a job at UCSD? If so I work there and live about a mile away, The Regents apartments, and love the place. There's a Starbucks right out the front door on my way to work. UTC Shopping Center is right down the road, loads of restaurants, an...

   I didn't see the private message in my account but I can answer the questions you asked here. I wasn't asked about shift until after I was hired, but I think you should be honest if you prefer to work nights. I know on my floor most of the nurses p...

   Each department varies their questions. but there are the standard questions. Why do you want to work here, what can you offer us, your strengths and weaknesses, etc. I didn't get any medical situation questions, however, they asked questions about ...

   First your application goes to HR and if someone likes it, it gets referred to the departments they think you are qualified for. It's the individual departments who decide who they finally want to interview. The interview was a panel for me with de...

    I would suggest checking "indeed.com" every morning when you get up. Put in to sort for "New grad RN positions" in San Diego or even broader, southern California. That way you have a heads up when new grad programs are starting. I went to that site...

    Sharp was the very first interview I went too and the panel interview threw me off since I didn't know it was a panel. The group I had weren't very outgoing so it was difficult to read their expressions. They asked the standard questions like why do...
