I did not receive an email either. I think they said they will make decisions early April. Good luck to you, sunny1230!

Good luck to those who received emails! I would love to hear how the process is if you're willing to keep us updated!

Just searching out there to see if anyone else has applied to the Fall 2014 UCI FNP program! Patiently waiting for their decisions!

How was the breakfast for everyone who attended?

Good luck to all of you going to the breakfast tomorrow! It seems like it will be semi-casual in comparison to a panel interview! Elsey43, even though it is just a breakfast, I would personally wear a nice suit; first impressions are usually based on appearance!

I am a new grad BSN and my career has started me in a derm office doing laser phototherapy and I am enjoying it! I would like to further my education in aesthetics but I'm unsure of what direction to take as far as certification or licensing. There is a college of medical aesthetics in newport, ca that offers an 18 week course that covers all lasers, facials and injectables and you get a certificate, or they offer a 4 day workshop. I am wondering though if getting an esthetician license through Bellus and then becoming licensed for the state board is better? Both directions are expensive and I want to make sure I go the route that will benefit me the most and is legitimate! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

San Diego County usually starts new grads around 36 an hour. Scripps pays BSN nurses more. Not sure how much more but they state that under their FAQs section of the new grad program.

Sai A, Yes! My interview is at the same exact time and place! Getting sweaty palms thinking about it :)

I did.. I worked in Hem/Onc as an LVN.

Congrats to all who have gotten interview emails! When I just about gave up hope yesterday, I received an email today for an interview May 7th for the August cohort residency program. Don't give up hope yet fellow RNs! They are still contacting people!

I read anywhere from 29-36 an hour. I know in Orange County and San Diego County, starting pay is $36 an hour in a hospital as a new grad.. Not too sure about exact amounts for City of Hope

No, they didn't mention anything but I read there was only 20 spots; 3 of those are saved for internals..

Never interviewed for DEU but interviewed for the residency program last December. If it is anything like that, it will be a panel interview in front of 3-5 unit managers in a room of 4 different tables with interviews going on all at the same time; very intimidating! Look your best, be prepared and bring 5-6 copies of your professional portfolio to hand out to each manager. Make sure you get their contact info before you leave! Ask for their business cards so that you can send a follow up thank you card or email. It is so very competitive!! Good luck to you, Chicago Girl!

Hey Jaspersun! Congrats to you for a phone interview! I live about 70 miles south of Duarte! Ya.. it is a haul that's for sure. It was a really pretty hospital though in a beautiful mountain like setting; I live near the beach so it was nice to see some different surroundings! Well I have my fingers crossed for you and everyone else who applied!!

I had a face-to-face. I worked in an oncology office as a LVN for a year then integrative wellness and cancer prevention as a LVN for 2 years.
