  1. Cedars Sinai New Grad RN Residency - Winter 2024

    polina11 replied to JeremyH's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    I did not get an offer the first time I applied/interviewed (with Acuity Adaptable, which wasn't one of my choices). I re-applied for the next cohort and got to interview with my top choice unit...

    polina11 replied to JeremyH's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    I don't recall the specific questions but even if I did, I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to post them here. I think I've seen them deleted in the past. I would suggest preparing answers for a few...

  3. Cedars Sinai New Grad Residency Spring 2024

    polina11 replied to ShootingForTheStars's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    My best advice for this, or any, interview for a new grad program is to highlight your willingness to learn, to seek guidance when you don't know something, and to keep your patients safe. As a new...

    1 & 2. First semester our clinicals were in the community and in skilled nursing facilities. You spent half the semester in 1 and half in the other. For the community clinicals, my group would go...

    This really depends on a lot of factors that are very individual. I know some of my classmates LOVE their ipads and the notability app. It honestly does look great. But I wouldn't go out an buy an...

    I can't take the credit for starting it, that was another student. I only jumped in the last 2 weeks or so. Please remember how you felt now and try to help out future students in this forum next...

    That sounds about right. Don't forget the approximately $2,700 you have to pay for ATI. But it's split into 4 payments, 1 each

    I have a classmate who was initially pursuing midwifery and has worked as a doula in the Bay Area. I'm not sure if that is still her goal but I can try to connect you with her if you're interested in...

    One thing you guys haven't asked about yet but I think is important to know is the types of capstone preceptorships you can get in this program. I know several of my classmates wish they had known...

    Technically, the school only requires you to do a drug test in the beginning. Make sure you do not drink too much water before your test so that your results don't come out diluted. I accidentally did...

    Classes are never on the weekends, but clinicals can be. The schedule pattern has been pretty consistent so far: 2 days of theory and lab and 2 days of clinical (except for 1st semester where you only...

    1. I think maybe 30-50% of my cohort started the program while having part-time jobs. You need to have a job that is very flexible. We don't get our finalized class schedule until about a week before...

    Hi all, I'm a current student in the SFSU BSNA program. While I can't answer any questions you have about when you'll hear about acceptances and whatnot, I'm happy to answer any questions you...
