I was called yesterday for med/surg/tele and I start August 8th. Wow that's soon

It took me a year to find a job and fortunately I just started working at UCI in MICU. I did everything you did but I've met some great unemployed new grads out there so the competition is fierce. Sometimes it's just in the timing. Sorry. Good Luck ...

Yes, I start orientation this Monday. I will be working in ICU-Medical. It was nice reading the blog so that I know what to expect. When someone said 6 months of didactic I was thinking that I was going to be in a classroom for 6 months before bei...

If you want to read it from day 1, read older posts first. I believe it starts with the interview in Feb 2011.

Good Luck to everyone. There's a great blog about a nurse's experience in the UCI new grad program. After reading the blog I am both excited and nervous.

Yeah!!! I finally got a job as a RN after almost a year of looking. I graduated May 2010 and was beginning to look for positions outside of California. I am so happy. So yes it can be done. Please don't give up. Feel sad for a moment and then m...

Sorry I quoted the wrong hospital. I meant to say Corona Regional Medical Center instead of Chino. I've applied at so many I get confused. But I do remember LDrnWNB from that thread (CRMC). LDrnWNB don't feel bad for turning down a position. It j...

Well congratulations to you too. How does it feel to have to decline an offer? I am so happy. I don't know what to do with myself since I no longer have to search for a job. That took so much of my day. I did clean my garage today and watch netfl...

LDrnWNB - I believe I applied for the new grad job at Chino right along with you. I didn't get that job. How about you? I remember you did get a panel interview. I finally got a job with UCI in ICU.

I don't know when I will start. I was told to wait for HR to call but I guess since they're hiring a lot more people I may have to wait until the group is formed. I asked the supervisor what I should be doing in the meantime to prepare and he said ...

Don't give up. I thought that I wasn't going to get it and I was pleasantly suprised. I had aready started looking outside the state. Also, I didn't have any ICU experience either. Also, today I noticed a new grad position (don't remember where) a...

I was told 4 for ICU during the interview.

I had an interview and accepted a position for Medical ICU. My interview was on the 15th and I accepted the position on the 22nd. I'm happy but I won't let myself get to carried away until I sign paperwork. :anbd:

I applied at Glendale and have not heard back from them. Thanks for calling and giving an update on Corona. Kinda bummed now because I have not received a call back for a second interview and my first interview was over a week ago. Oh well, I'll ...

Wow LDrnWNB. That would be perfect for you. I've always had to drive far for work so the drive doesn't really bother me. Can you let us know what the update is once you find out? Do you know how many people applied or had interviews. There are s...

No problem. That's what we're here for to help each other. I live in Temecula. I'm a little less than an hour away (further south). I believe if you are contacted for employment for any of the hospitals under "UHS", you have to take an assessment...

OOOitzsharon - they should be calling you soon. They called me the day before they wanted me to come in for an interview. Have yo taken the assessment test yet? They may be making calls up to the end of this month. Good Luck. Guys I really want...

Did your status always say "prospect" or did it change from "applied" to "prospect" after your interview? I am desperate and trying to read into any clues to let me know if I have a chance or not.

Just received my rejection e-mail. Bummer. They said that they are making 60 offers. Well good luck to everyone.

I wonder if I'm still in the running. My status still says "applied".

Has anyone heard anything back from crmc?

MMC10 - How did the assessment go? Did they give you a time frame for your interview? I was told that I should hear something back in 1-2 weeks. Does anyone know how many people applied? and how many internals? NurseCubanita - I was told that it wa...

When I interviewed for encinitas I was told that I should hear something in 1-2 weeks. I was just hoping for 1 week. Who knows.

Christina I think it was just ok. Not the worst and not the best. I don't care too much for interviews. I get extremely nervous. Too bad I couldn't have a glass of wine before my interview.*wine Sunny, I'll be up with you.

I think the interview went well. Hopefully I make it to phase 3 (panel interview). I'm really excited now. People may want to kill me after this comment but I think more hospitals should follow the same process. Have you come in and learn the rope...
