I found my rental on a UC Davis Health webpage that has housing listings (it’s geared towards medical residents but is available for all). There is also a facebook group for the fall 2020 new grads - something like UC Davis Nurse residency Fall 202...

Sure! I graduated in December from an ABSN program with a 4.0 GPA. I received my NC RN license in February and my California RN license just a couple of weeks ago. I did my TTP on a med/surg/oncology unit, am a member of sigma theta tau, and have w...

Hi everyone! I received an offer today for patient care resources (float pool) for the August start date! I got a call from the manager on 6/29 to schedule a phone interview. I had my phone interview on 7/2, got a reference check email that same day...

I think I remember reading in a thread from a previous cohort that this happened to them... I think it is just part of the process!

That's great; I hope you get the position! ??

@hiremeplease how did your interview go?

I am curious about the format of interviews as well! Are other hospitals in the region holding in-person interviews right now?

I just looked up UCSD Health Human Resources and called the number provided.

I spoke with someone in the recruitment office. She said the new grad program was delayed, they didn't know when the new grad positions would be posted, and recommended to continue checking the website.

I don't recall an option to choose August vs October, but the application did have a question with available start date - is that what you're referring to @deroxxy?

@ENTnurse thank you so much for chiming in here! It’s reassuring to hear from someone who has already been through this process successfully!

No, I didn’t request a specific unit in my cover letter.

My status updated to “application under review” yesterday. I applied on 5/7. I did my preceptorship on a med/surg/oncology unit.

Thanks @ENTnurse! That's helpful to know.

Mine still says application received as well. It sounds like in past years, all statuses switched to "routed" at the same time, so I wonder why it is different this year. Either way, by looking at the posts for the previous cohorts, it seems like it ...

I applied for licensure in California by endorsement (I have an out of state license) and am waiting for approval - I think they'll get to my application sometime in the next couple of weeks. It seems like they're getting through applications pretty ...

I was wondering if you could share what they asked for in terms of references? Number of references required, what categories (clinical supervisor, employer, professor, colleague), etc? Thanks so much!

Hi, I am hoping to learn more about the possibility of working internationally if I graduate from an Accelerated Bachelors of Science in Nursing program in the US. I have read through some older threads that make it pretty clear that RNs with less t...

Hi, I am going to be interviewing for a competitive accelerated BSN program. In general, I feel prepared for the interview, except for the "Tell me about yourself" prompt. I feel like I am going to freeze or ramble, and I know I need a well-prepared...

I took both A&P 2 and a chemistry class in the summer. It wasn't hard for me, but did require a lot of time. How easy/difficult has school been for you so far? What have your grades been like? I was advised against taking both, but I'm glad I did...

@Macarro2 I'm not sure if you're still active on allnurses but if you happen to see this, I'd love to hear about your experience with the ABSN program.

I am getting ready to apply to a couple of BSN programs, and will hopefully start a program in the fall of 2018. I am trying to prepare for both the interview and school by becoming more informed about life as a nurse. I would love any favorite sourc...

Thank you! That book looks great, I just requested it from the library. I agree that this site has been such an incredible source of information for me. It's really useful for when I'm looking for something specific, but I think things like this boo...

Hello! I am hoping to get into an ABSN program in which I will earn a BSN in 4 semesters. I am curious if doing an accelerated program might end up limiting my options in the future in some way. I have heard anecdotal information about some higher e...

Hello all, I am looking into BSN programs in the Asheville area. I have a bachelors degree already, and I have been planning to apply to the RIBN program at AB Tech, but I just heard about the ABSN program at WCU. When researching WCU's ABSN program...
