Hi everyone! I'm a recent new grad who is fortunate to have an upcoming interview at UCSF's Intensive Care Nursery. I'm really excited to have this opportunity and am trying to prepare myself as best possible. I have little information about the in...

Also, look at online classes. Most of the CC in CA offer them, and he will have more options. He can take classes anywhere in the state where they are offered. This of course does not work for science classes with labs, but you can take just about...
Sorry, I don't remember many questions at this point and I didn't write them down afterward, some basic stuff, tell us about yourself, why nursing, why nicu, etc. There were more pointed questions, but I do not recall specifics. Hope that helps...
I'm sure many of us have applied to Washington's new grad program. Thought I would start a thread as we anticipate getting calls for interviews (and maybe a few sorry not selected emails). Any idea when we will start hearing from them?
I can't answer the licensure issue, it would depend upon the facility you are applying to. But I can tell you this, California is not an easy place to find a job, many graduates go 1-2 years before finding a job. It's really tough out here. As a m...

Mine says Route, and I have not received an email or any other communication from UCD. I figure i'm not in the running since I haven't heard anything from them at this point. Good luck to those of you in the running!

Like a previous poster stated, most ADN degrees require two years of prereqs and two years of nursing classes. A BSN requires about the same timeframe, perhaps a semester longer. Why not take an extra semester, and get a degree that will open more ...
I thought it went pretty well, but with so many well-qualified applicants, it's hard to gauge whether it will be good enough to get an offer. They told me we'd find out on Friday, too, so at least I don't have to wait in suspense as long as you have...
Thanks, that's helpful info. I belong to NANN and read the journals, which has been inspiring to me. I have NRP cert., so I reviewed my NRP stuff a little bit in case they ask me anything about that. I've done a lot of research about the unit and th...
