Starting this thread for the Winter 2024 cohort at Palomar Health. Applications open 11/22 with a start date of 2/24. Their website says they post individual unit openings, but close them if they get high volume - so apply early.
I'd say the schedule is pretty consistent. Obviously for the first 12 weeks you work your preceptor's schedule. They try not to have you work holidays. I guess you work every other weekend. Once you're off orientation (12-16 weeks) then your schedule...
My friends that started in November said that the first week is all classes. Other classes will take the place of regular shifts. This will happen a handful of times, so you may work 2 12hr shifts and then have an 8hr class in the same week. A lot of...
You can wear any color scrub at Sharp unless obviously you are somewhere that requires OR scrubs. And yes we get paid our normal hourly rate on classroom days (obviously no differential since they're not at night). And no they don't pay you to work o...
I know they want to see 2 supervisors for sure so if you didn't get one of those in your 3 I'd try to reach out to HR. Maybe they can reset it for you.
My verbal offer came the day before the reference email request, so I'm not sure what th...
thanks! short stay pcu
I got the verbal offer 3 days after my interview. I believe the rejection emails aren't sent until everyone has accepted written offers for that unit.
I received and accepted a written offer at Sharp Grossmont on Friday. Looking forward to starting April 11.
Best of luck to all those still in the hunt, I've been there and I know something good will come for you as well.
if you think you n...
An acquaintance had an interview with L&D 2 weeks ago, but I don't think she's heard about an offer.
Re: 'closed' jobs I think it means they've made their selections. I know a number of units like Neuro and Cardio acute already made offers. ...
My friend got an offer 2 weeks ago
Not sure if anyone saw but they just posted NG ICU spot at Hillcrest. I'm familiar with this unit — it's a really hard place to work if you have little experience.
Congrats. Mostly what I've heard is the usual stuff - why Palomar, why ED, why nursing. And then behavioral questions like safety or difficult patients.
Starts at $47/hr they didn't post the differential. Scripps just increased their hourly rate from the Jan cohort to March. Palomar/Rady's has the lowest, followed by Kaiser, then Sharp, UCSD, Scripps.
A number of positions have been given to interns already. Hopefully "new" status is still a good sign.
And yes San Diego is one of the harder markets in California to get a new grad job.
