Thanks. I have that info already. I was looking to talk to someone who was actually in the program or had graduated from the UCSF or Stanford new grad program. (I'd like to know how they liked it, their experiences, things they wished they had known before hand, etc.). Thank you.

I'm in the new grad program at Stanford and I'm loving it! Our batch is the first one to start with the RN Residency program and it offers us UHC classes year round, where we get ongoing support. We had classroom training for 2-3 weeks (depending on your unit). You get ur own preceptor for another 6-10 weeks. Stanford is a great place to work --- great teamwork, new technology, excellent benefits! We are also in the process of applying for Magnet status. We also do electronic charting so bye bye to lots of papers! I would definitely recommend Stanford to new grads!

It was mentioned on their site that they are only accepting 2008 and 2009 graduates. Do they consider 2007 and earlier?

No, I think they only consider applicants who graduated within the last year: "RN graduate between June 1st, 2008 and May 31st, 2009"
