I received my BSN in December 2010 from Duke University. After leaving a 4-year career as a University of California researcher I pursued my passion for working with people to improve their health, comfort and independence.
I had 3 interviews and a unit tour, but didn't end up getting an offer. That rejection email was one of the most disappointing letdowns yet - after being 'courted' so much: having 3 good interviews,...
Congrats on the second interview. All I can say is, mainly: be yourself. If I say "well, what I wish I had known/done was _____, and what they will ask is _____", then I'm basically saying "here is...
Well, NOW it appears that the old thread is no longer closed! Of course - right after I posted this new thread, but too late for me to remove it. I want to delete this unnecessary thread, but AN...
So.... that was awkward. Any ideas why the previous, perfectly good UCLA New Grad Summer 2011 thread was unceremoniously closed? Strange. Are they automatically closed after they reach a magical...
I got yanked off the waitlist a couple weeks ago (greatest call of my life: "Hello, we were just calling to see if you were still interested in the New Grad program in L&D..."). I did Talentplus,...
Oh, you are too kind :) Yes, I thought I was a strong applicant, but I feel much less so after 200+ apps, 2 interviews, and 0 offers since graduating in December 2010.... the CA market is...
To confirm: yes, the Status for your app applies to ALL applicants - it means nothing about your individual app. It's a pretty shoddy system, in my opinion. It gives many of us false hope.... I...
PS: Hi, LDrnWNB! Hooray for solidarity with Scripps Rejects Onward and upward, LD/WNB/PP comrade.... I'm assuming your preceptorship was in a similar area as mine (Maternal-NB), and that you...
Where is this celebrated FAQ? I never saw that depressing 'local nursing school' requirement anywhere.... I was starting to wonder what kinds of sexual favors...or whatever... I had to do to get...
I stupidly did not apply to SNIP when I was close to graduating because I thought "oh, I want to go back home to CA so bad; who needs Duke and their nice loan repayment program and very good chance of...
but, one caveat: I have not figured out how to get their app to remember all my employment, education and cert history! It is *incredibly* annoying. Can you imagine? Entering your entire *******...
Apparently! My Duke classmate is working for them in Denver, CO. She graduated in Dec 2010 with me and has exactly as much paid RN experience as me: none. Most of their positions say "1 year exp...
Hey Jojo from the Scripps thread... I applied for UCLA, but haven't heard anything. I'm going to check my 'app status right now. I thought I actually had a chance since I had a preceptorship in an...
Funny - I thought "hmm, BigMan314.... could that be the Big Man Who Likes Tiny Babies (NICU) who sat to my left at that Scripps table?" haha. I can say for sure that you -and most other people I...
The email sort of made me mad with its endless paragraphs of fluff about how honored they were to meet us and how special we are, etc etc.... and how our resumes will remain on file for future...
