what did the HR have to say? I haven't gotten a call yet

how did you check for the update? Has anyone heard anything yet? I still haven't heard a peep..

at the VA in Palo Alto, I think it will be a room where we do the new grad classes, not our units. I was told they'll email us with the details.

I haven't heard anything either :/ But I know we will have to be there on Monday the 7th at 8am.

I know this thread is old, but I agree with MissNurse1105. So many responses are so hostile on this thread! In this tough CA new grad market we do all we can to get experience where we can. It's true that many jobs require at least a year of acute care experience, otherwise your doors close. I understand that maybe if you wanted to do home-health, acute care probably isn't all that necessary. But regardless, you're still not taking up "anybody's spot", because if they wanted to get their behind off the couch and move to another state, they can do that too, and I'm sure something will be available. But it's easier to just sit behind a computer and bring out their frustration on someone else who landed an internship. We can't know what exactly we want until you're thrown into it and you experience it for yourself. I totally understand what you mean, 8-10 patients sounds absolutely insane! and it's normal for new grads to feel unsafe for like an entire first year or more. Btw if you don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear an update, where did you end up? how did the internship turn out? I hope you're doing amazing wherever you are :)

I got an offer at the VA in Palo Alto for their new grad program. Do you know anything about the Palo Alto VA hospital? Yea the area there is definitely pricey :/

With experience you can get in anywhere! did you end up in VA palo alto? An update would be interesting :)

Hi guys! Can any one of you from previous cohort or those who applied before confirm what the commitment is to this program? Is it 2 years or 3 years? Can you tell us a little bit about the program? Did you like it? Your feedback would be really helpful! Thanks :)

I did get an offer, but their process is slow, so they may still be giving people offers through this week. Does anyone know what the commitment for this new grad program is? Is it 3 years? or 2 years? And is it a legally binding commitment? Just wondering, because there weren't any specific instructions given yet. thanks!

did you get an offer? They're kinda slow with communicating, so I don't know how hard they're trying to get everyone ready on time lol..

I think that's possible. Why do you ask?

wasn't there just one job ID for the entire program?

thank you zzbxdo! If you're from that area, or anyone else on here. Do you know what the commute from Dublin is like to Palo Alto? And if it's doable. I'm really worried about the commute at this point.. THanks guys!

What NewlyMintedRN said, I have the same exact experience. So back to my original question, does anyone know anything about Palo Alto? :)

Yea I think they made all the calls to selected candidates by now. I got mine last week.
