Hey! Unfortunately I think once it's closed you're no longer under consideration. Keep applying though! I started in December and it was extremely difficult to get in. Hoag will hire internally first but try and reach out to any connections you may have to help you get in.

It's from the last cohort I think but here's the url!

I saw a post on another thread where it says Spring dates for 2025 are still TBA ?

Hello, Did any of y'all have luck in getting interviews? I've been looking for clinical nurse I positions and all of them had said that they require 1 year experience minimum. Any advice on finding new grad positions?

Same! I can only find the info for NorCal applicants so I'm wondering If the dates are the same..?

Just checked and my app for sub ICU says closed ?

Oh nice! Hopefully we get in somewhere soon! ??

I noticed that too! I asked about that in my email as well so I'll let you know what she says. I'm also looking at UCI and MemorialCare (Orange, LB, and Saddleback) and I was trying to figure out how to apply for KP SoCal's residency program, but Hoag is my dream hospital. What about you? ?

Hey there! I also applied to the CCU earlier this month and mine says it's still under review. I applied to sub ICU, OR, and tele positions as well and my app for sub ICU is still under review but OR and tele are closed, which I'm guessing means that they did not consider me. I emailed the head of talent acquisition and got an automatic reply saying she's out of the office until Friday, so I'm going to ask her then! I'll keep you updated on what I find out ? good luck! The only thing that confuses me is some of the clinical nurse I positions require 1-2 years experience. Does this mean we're going up against people who have experience? ?

Oh yeah now that I think about it we had like 10 days!

Sure, no problem! You get one week long breaks between Spring, Summer, and fall semesters, and a month long break between fall and Spring. Then you also have a week for Spring break in April and fall break in November.

If you start in the Spring with the trimester pathway, then you'll have 2 summers which are accelerated (12 weeks I think, I forget). It's a lot of work but completely doable and it goes by super fast! I started Spring 23 and for second semester we had intermediate med surg lecture and clinical, health assessment lecture and lab, pharmacology, then gerontology which was asynch. It was seriously like a fever dream LOL I barely remember going through it. But they switched pharmacology to first semester now so it should be way less crazy. Also clinical days in the Summer are 12hrs vs 8hrs in Spring and fall, that way you get all of your required hours.

Not if you start in Spring! It's pretty much a year ahead. But if you start in the fall it's a semester ahead (technically 2 if you count Summer plus fall). Semester pathway starting in Fall: Fall 23 Spring 24 Fall 24 Spring 25 Fall 25 Trimester pathway starting in Fall: Fall 23 Spring 24 Summer 24 Fall 24 Spring 25 Semester pathway starting in Spring: Spring 23 Fall 23 Spring 24 Fall 24 Spring 25 Trimester pathway starting in Spring: Spring 23 Summer 23 Fall 23 Spring 24 Summer 24

Congrats!! And yes it is! I'm doing the accelerated track and I like it because we get more autonomy at the hospital since we have the same clinical site through the entire program (Long Beach Memorial) vs semester having multiple. I also heard that semester only gets a few days in the ICU vs us getting an entire semester in the ICU. There's pros and cons to both. I'm not going to lie I'm always exhausted because I've gone a year without a real break since the one week break we get between semesters is spent preparing for the next. But, you get a month break between fall/Spring and the added bonus of graduating a year ahead of when the semester track would.

Nice job! Usually the threshold is about 9.3 and Spring is definitely way less competitive. To anyone else reading this comment that's applying for future semesters, take the TEAS twice!! Same test and you're more likely to get a higher score. Currently in semester 3/5 and I know my cohort's threshold was around 9.3 so I'm rooting for you!
