  1. UCLA New Grad RN SUMMER 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to studystudy's topic in California Nursing

    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,...

  2. UCLA New Grad RN SUMMER 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to studystudy's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  3. UCLA New Grad Summer 2011: part deux

    SarahLT_RN replied to SarahLT_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  4. UCLA New Grad Summer 2011: part deux

    SarahLT_RN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  5. UCLA New Grad RN SUMMER 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to studystudy's topic in California Nursing

    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,...

  6. Bay Area New Grad Programs in 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to nicrn7's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  7. Bay Area New Grad Programs in 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to nicrn7's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  8. Sutter Health New Grad Positions

    SarahLT_RN replied to oooitzsharon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  9. Sutter Health New Grad Positions

    SarahLT_RN replied to oooitzsharon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  10. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  11. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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 *******...

  12. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  13. California's 2011 New Grad Program

    SarahLT_RN replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  14. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  15. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  16. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nevermind. My email just didn't go in the correct folder. It was there. I think I would have been a great fit; too bad the notes taken by the interviewer didn't reflect that. I spent several...

  17. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I guess we now know the rejection emails can trickle in any time. I am still without The Email... as of yet... knock on fake-wood laptop desk. I was hoping hard for all of you! I mean that...

  18. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's not just you, Christina. I wrote a thankyou to my unit manager and simply addressed it to her, 4E, Scripps Memorial etc etc etc and I *hope* it got to her! I emailed Toni to ask if I used the...

  19. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sunny - I see what you're asking, and I wonder the same thing. You're not paranoid - the report of that email made my heart sink a little too, since it seems to imply that we're at the bottom of the...

  20. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh..... jeez. That's quite a blow to my confidence. I'm assuming they hire unit by unit, and I interviewed for 4E La Jolla. Why must they string me along and still tease me with "Applicant...

  21. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh, Christina, you are so optimistic. I was assuming they wouldn't call on a Sunday, but I suppose we've been surprised before: when they sent emails on Saturday at 10:30pm to invite us to...

  22. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    M2: Yup, 4E LaJolla. I am so, so hopeful. Right back at you - it would be great to have a familiar, uh... 'name'? on my floor too. Since I already worked out today, now it's time for my other...

  23. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yay, m2! Congratulations! Where will you be working? Again, thank you for continued thoughts and prayers. I am reminded that: we make plans (like "things will be settled by Friday") and God...

  24. Scripps Healthcare New Grad Program 2011

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks, Christina! I forgot about that. An anemic phrase like "Applicant Review" has never sounded so good - because it says anything besides "Not Selected" :) I remember someone (HR? Toni?) said...

    SarahLT_RN replied to Frida131's topic in First Year After Licensure

    du_girl: Duke ABSN InTime: congratulations! I have a feeling I'd love having you as a coworked (inter-hospital-wise) if I'm lucky enough to get a call.... after 5pm I'm absolutely nauseated...
