Anyone hear back from UCSD regarding these positions? Hopefully you guys recieved good news!!!!!!! *Fingers Crossed*

Looks like the posting for the Perinatal CN II is back up, they have it posted again with the deadline of 12/15/12. Maybe they didn't find what they were looking for first time around. Maybe we still have a chance? Hmm.... guess we will have to wait and see!

Hi Nurse Mando Commando, Thanks for the quick reply! Ya, I was kinda bummed I wasn't able to score an interview. I had contacted HR today and they said they already finished doing their interviews. I actually applied for the Perinatal CN II position since I already have experience as an RN. I worked at a SNF for 10 months right after nursing school, then was fortunate enough to land the Postpartum New grad job for Sharp and have been working there for 1 1/2 years now. I definitely love it, but am VERY interested in getting into the NICU. When I saw the posting for the Perinatal program, I thought it would be an awesome opportunity! Wow, your credentials are very good! I'm hoping you get the position! Advice as a current nurse, take any experience you can get. Although I did not want to work at a SNF, I just took it and eventhough it was SUPER stressful and was diorganized, I gained a lot of valuable experience from it, looking back. Also, Network if you can! When I took the Regional Perinatal Class, I met one of the Clinical Nurse Specialist speakers after class just to talk to her and get her advice for job hunting. It was a blessing in disguise cause she was able to help me get the new grad job! Please keep us posted on your status for this position! Wish you the best of luck!

@NurseMandoComando: That is soooo awesome you scored an interview for this program! My application was referred to the hiring department but I never got a call for an interview. Just wondering what your background is? I would have LOVED to do the postpartum/NICU loop for the program. I have all the qualifications except doing my internship/preceptorship in NICU or L&D. I even took the Regional Perinatal class already. I am currently working as a Postpartum Nurse at Sharp Healthcare. Anyhow, I wish you all the luck! Hope to hear from you soon!!!!

Hi Guys, To anyone who had a panel interview with Sharp Chula Vista's Med Surg/Telemetry Residency Program, did any of youhear back regarding offers yet? I had interviewed May 5th and havent heard back from them, so I'm kinda thinking I didn't get the position! Just wondering if anyone else had heard back yet! Thanks and have a wondeful Memorial Day Weekend!

SDN9999: Have you heard back from Sharp Chula Vista regarding the L&D and PP new grad positions? Any news?

FYI- My friend had an interview for Sharp Mary Birch's NICU a few days ago. So looks like they are starting to interview people for that unit!

Hi Nicole15, Glad your inteview went well! Any word regarding their decision???!! I hope you get the L&D position!!!!! Best of luck to you!

Hi Nicole15, I'm thinking you had your interview for L&D today. Wishing you lots of luck! How did it go??????? Any interview advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Hopefully all of us get calls for interviews soon!

Good luck to all those still in the running for a position! As for those like myself, who were not selected, we must keep the faith!!!! What are you guys doing in the meantime, are you working anywhere? volunteering? Just wondering! I'm hopeful for the new year coming up. I hope it will be MY year! :)

Noahsmama: Thanks so much for all the helpful advice. I have my BSN and also have my Public Health Certificate. I've applied to volunteer at one my county Public Health Centers, so hopefully that will get me some exposure to the Public Health field and help me network as well. So you worked a year in acute care prior to landing your public health nurse job right? I'm trying my best to find an acute care hospital job but its really hard! I took the RN Rehab Nurse position, just to get some experience under my belt. I am hoping that SOME experience is better than none in this terrible economy! How do you like working with foster kids? Anyhow, I contacted my community professor and am scheduled to talk to her later today! Hope she can give me some helpful hints as well. Thanks again for your advice. I really appreciate it!! Decembergrad2011: Thanks for the website! I never thought about joining the U.S. Public Health Commisioned Corps. I will definitely look into it! Are you in it or do you know anyone that is currently in it?

Hi Everyone, I am a new grad RN who is currently working as a Charge Nurse at a Nursing and Rehab Center since August 2010. I enjoy the challenge of my current job but it's not where my passion is. I am interested in getting into Public Health Nursing and would like any tips or advice in how to break into the field. Its been difficult finding an acute care hospital job for me, so I have been trying to think of other options I have. My passion is in teaching and health prevention. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much!! :)

So I emailed the nurse recruiter and she replied back that, they are still reviewing new grad applications and questionnaires and that we will receive an email updating us one way or the other in the next few weeks. So everyone sit tight and Good Luck!!!

Anyone hear back from UCSD yet? Any emails sent out that resume was forwarded to hiring manager???..... I Haven't heard anything yet!!!

Twentysomething: I am remaining hopeful that we all still have a chance to be selected for an an interview. I received the email that my portfolio was forwarded to the director of med surg/tele @ Chula and have yet to hear from them still...which scares me! But regardless, we must remain hopeful, if I don't hear from Sharp I am hoping for UCSD! *Fingers crossed for EVERYONE in this tough economy*

Hi Laura06baby: When's your interview for Chula Vista? Man, im still waiting for them to call me. Hoping they give me a chance to @ least interview. May I ask what your background is...do you have hospital exp already? (CNA, LVN, etc), BSN or ASN? Doran002: I also believe things happen for a reason! Congrats on the baby on the way, now that is exciting! It's great you have a per diem job, so that will work out great for you at this time of your life. :) I wish everyone the best in their job hunt...All I know is that I really really want to get into a new grad program this time around. **crosses fingers**

Oh wow!!! Only 5....well ill definitely be praying they @ least give me a chance to interview with them. ****fingers crossed**** Laura06baby: When is your interview? GOOD LUCK!!!

Doran002: I really hope you get that Adult Health New Grad position! Please keep us posted. So is Adult Health the same as Med Surg like we thought? Laura06baby: Congrats on scoring an interview!!! Soooo exciting!!! What unit???? I just received an email from the Sharp recruiter today (friday) that my new grad portfolio was forwarded to the Director of the Med Surg/Tele rotational program at Sharp Chula Vista. Im hoping and praying i will be selected for an interview. Keep you all updated!!

No word from Sharp yet. Just been patiently waiting. I applied to the Sharp Chula Vista Med Surg and Tele rotational program and the Sharp Grossmont PCU. Lets make sure to keep each other updated...... hopefully we hear from them soon!!!!

Hi Everyone! I also applied on October 25th and received the questionnaire the next day, sent it back to the HR recruiter and got a confirmation she had received it. Haven't got the lucky email yet, that app and resume has been forwarded to the hiring manager yet! Hopefully they start informing us SOON! I really hope it works out for me and ALL of us this time! They should be informing us by the end of the month (Nov) and interviewing soon after that....(hopefully!) I wish everyone the best of luck!!!! I really want to get into this program!!!!

That's awesome tomato head! I did my preceptorship @ a medical surgical oncology unit so I applied to the Oncology and Med Surg unit for UCSD. I didn't work as a CNA or volunteer during nursing school. My nursing degree is my 2nd bachelors degree (BSN), I previously worked in the clinical research industry for about 5 years. I am currently working at a Nursing and Rehab place as an RN since August. I'm fortunate to have a job but I really want to work at an acute hospital in a formal new grad training program!!! nicrn7, it took awhile for them to email me the email stating my resume had been forwarded to the hiring manager, maybe about 3-4 weeks upon submitting the questionnaire? Your experience as an perfusionist assistant sounds really good!

Doran 002, How was your phone interview on Friday? I'm sure it went well! Good luck to you! Hope we also get call backs for interviews too!

Hey Everyone, So after applying and sending in your questionnaire, you will receive an email whether or not your application and resume will be sent to the hiring manager of a particular floor you applied to, from there, the managers will look over each of the applications they get and decide which candidates they would like to interview.They will call the candidates they would like to meet and offer an interview. Hope that helps! This is my 2nd time applying as well... got an interview for the UCSD new grad float pool but didnt get selected (Such a bummer, getting so close...but yet sooo far!!). I'm hoping I have another chance this time. Anyhow, just wondering what each of your backgrounds are? Do you have medical/hospital experience? (working as CNAs, unit secretary, etc?) Hope to hear from you guys soon. I'm crossing my fingers for us all!

Doran002, Thats so great you got a call back for a phone interview already...that was really fast!! I wish you the best of luck. I'm thinking adult health is like a Med Surg unit, but not entirely sure! Keep all of us posted on how the interview goes! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I had also applied to Sharp's New Grad Program the first day it opened and finally got confirmation that they received my complete portfolio yesterday via email. I wish everyone luck and my fingers, toes and eyes are crossed that we all score interviews!! Lets keep each other posted!!!
