  1. San Diego UCSD July new grad RN program

    I start June 15th! In the interview, I asked what I should do to prepare before orientation, and they told me to rest! haha So.... I'm trying to rest and not think about everything I don't remember...
  2. San Diego UCSD July new grad RN program

    Thanks! It feels great. I was burnt out from the job hunt. I looked for 7months (4.5 after the boards). But now the wait was worth it. I had 3 years of work experience at a hospital in mental health....

    Yes, stay positive! And yes, today is beautiful... I should go outside too. I need to enjoy my last few weeks of spring/summer before I start working. I can't wait to hear from you with good news!...
  4. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    Well, I feel pretty confident about it, but nothing is for sure. I know I was a strong candidate and they were going to hire alot of people compared to how many they interviewed. So yes, enjoy your...
  5. Loma Linda RN Residency in Pediatrics

    Actually, I missed their call and they left me a message about wanting to do an interview. Then I called back and left a message regretfully declining because I've already accepted another offer. So,...

    Nope, not yet. They probably just didn't have enough time to call everyone.

    I got hired on Fri 21st for SICU at UCSD. They only hired 2 new grads and 2 experienced nurses on the floor. I heard that the other units (who are hiring a little later, so don't lose hope) are only...

  11. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    I just wanted to tell you that I know they told you two weeks from your interview, but I was thinking about it and they told me two weeks from mine too. I had mine on Wed19th, so 2 weeks is June 2nd....

    Thanks to both of you!
  13. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    Don't loose confidence in your ability to be a great nurse. You already wow'd them and got an interview! They were going to hire 7-10 and only interviewed 15... so the odds are really good. Also there...
  14. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    All the UCSD units are different! So keep your hopes up. Some are starting earlier than others (June vs July). I think most are still at the "forwarding to manager" stage. Also, if you are talking...
  15. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    All I know is that all the units are different. So I have heard of others still getting forwarded to units (not my own). So... you are still in the running. I don't know how long the process will be....

  18. Advice Need: Am I taking the NCLEX too soon?

    Yes, with 97% chance then take it. You are lucky you didn't have to wait 2 months for an ATT like I did, and then another month for an open test day. Do it now! And go into it knowing that you are...
  19. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

  22. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    Ya, the competition for Peds is even more impossible than most areas of nursing. It would be amazing to receive even an interview. Good
  23. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    I was thinking about calling the recruiter too. Yes, waiting and more waiting. Thanks for the
  24. Bay area new grad programs 2010

    Volunteering will boost your resume if you can say you are using your nursing skills. Even if it's taking BP q1wk for 2-4hrs. And while you have extra time finally, take some extra certifications...
