I'm sure there's lots of you out there applying to the CSUN 2011 ABSN program. Just wanted to get the conversation rolling for those of us who are in the process. Anyone else think 2 pages is too short for the personal statement?

Applying to MSMC's 2011 absn program? Yeah, me too. Just wanted to hearing from others in the same boat.

Hello fellow new grads! I'm starting this post to round up all the applicants for the 2013 cohort at Scripps in San Diego. I called HR today and they were rather tight-lipped about when the application would post, and was told "It will post in about...

Hi jdevales, I am a new grad nurse (originally from Southern California, went to school in Washington state) and I'd recommend trying to get into a burn unit during your senior practicum if at all possible. I did my senior preceptorship at a burn ICU...

lol. I see you've kept the snowball analogy going!

I got the rejection email this morning too. This is so disheartening

I'm curious if any non L&D applicants have heard back from Sharp yet?

I've been avoiding the board because of my crazy anxiety but mine also only says "submission received". Coriander or ExPharmaGirl...anything different show up for your status?

Wondering who else out there applied to the Palomar new grad program in San Diego? The application went up at 7 this morning, and I just checked at 11:45 AM and its already disappeared. Good luck to those applying. Lets comment and commiserate :)

The packet was in my email this afternoon. Now to attack that letter of intent...

Indeed. And on to the others we go

Is the packet emailed? Haven't received it yet.

in the puddle here, no magic email. Good luck to the snowballs who made it to an interview!

Count me in. Its nice to have someone on the board who's already done a few of these and can tell the rest of us to calm down and wait :)

Does this mean its still pretty much a snowball's chance in hell? lol.

Not sure if I should be getting excited about this yet: " Your application has been reviewed and is being considered for our current openings." Any veteran applicants have insight?

They had 3 SICU and 1 Burn ICU for a total of 4, and they had about 1600 applicants from what the recruiter told me. Is it just me or is that an outrageous # of applicants???

Hi everyone, thanks for posting the extra info. The position was posted for internal candidates on Sept 5th (I saw it on the top of the posting), but even with 500 applicants, the odds sound better than the ones for UCSD. Good luck and thank goodness...

we need a tumbleweed icon cuz that's what it feels like is happening with them. lol. no news here either.

Hi Rast, I'll be applying this time around too, and wondered the same thing. I hope some of the successful new grads that got the positions of their choice will respond and give us newbies some great advice!

Spoke to recuiter -------- again today. He said that the units will be looking at the apps and calling potential interviewees during the first 2 weeks of September. Spoke to BICU manager earlier in the week, she said "we won't be interviewing till th...

suzq, did your friends all go into the Scripps program or other ones in SD? Pharma, welcome and thanks for posting!

Just got my official rejection letter. Anyone know who we should contact for feedback on our application and how we can improve it for next time?

I wonder if UCSD calls or emails to schedule interviews? Anyone know?
