Does anyone know of any applicants that were turned down for the CEP program through Maricopa? Everyone I know who has applied had gotten in with GPA's from 3.0-3.8. My GPA is a little behind a 3.5 and I am worried that competition is getting heavier...

I knew the day I wanted to become a nurse that I wanted to become an oncology nurse. That was the first position I was hired into and I got the job before I even graduated. I have my BSN, and I volunteered at my hospital before I started nursing scho...

I don't have any new info for you, so sorry I've been busy wrapping up my semester and with preceptorship and haven't been able to catch up with anyone for a few days. I will be sure to update you if I run into any other applicants though! Hopefully...

Yes! I hope to meet you too! The few friends I talked to that interviewed for ICU haven't heard anything yet either so it may just be at different days. I interviewed October 29th :) when was yours?

I've seen on other threads that people get the e-mail on different days so don't lose hope! It was just a general e-mail to consent to a background check. I know someone from school who just interviewed for ICU last week so they may still be working ...

Final went well! Officially done with the hardest part. I am placed at Mayo for preceptorship on 7E. I actually got the background check e-mail yesterday and my status changed to "interview" so hopefully that will be a step in the right direction. It...

Sorry I had my final today so I've been off the internet cramming! I am not sure what GPA they were looking for everyone seemed to have at least a 3.75 and up but not sure that was as important as the interview. I think she did remember me because sh...

Wow that's awesome! Did you work at Mayo or another valley hospital? I've had my eye on the opportunity since before nursing school, I can't even remember how I came across it to be honest. Anyway, the requirements were to be in your 2nd or 3rd semes...

I was told they should have a decision by Thanksgiving and I would hear directly from HR at that point. I've been a private caregiver, but besides my summer externship I don't have direct acute care experience. You?

Exactly! I am honored just to be picked from the pile for an interview. I externed on 7West (hematology/oncology), and will be doing my preceptorship starting next week on 7E. I know one person who interviewed for critical care, but the rest are main...

That's great! Sounds like you did well then! I am in the NAU/CEP program at Scottsdale. Myself and 4 other people were interviewed in our class. I was an extern there over the summer and three others are current employees, but one girl has a lot of h...

Yes, I interviewed with the nursing coordinator and then a supervisor from the hematology/oncology floors. They did go over the pay rate and program with me, and from what I have heard from some other people in my class that interviewed the same appl...

How did your interview go? I interviewed for the med-surg position a couple weeks ago. No status updates since then. Has yours updated?

Sorry to hear that I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason, and something great will be coming your way. interview was behavioral/scenario based so it was not the easiest thing to do a day after my cardiac exam, but everything th...

Phoenix CHildren's Hospital hires a lot of new grads year around. Also, Banner Health is known to be new grad friendly :)

HI, Guys! I also applied. I got a call for an interview, which is next week for the Med-Surg position. From what I heard there were over 500 applicants and will have around 75 interviews (just what I have heard though). SO I am sure it will take a ...

Hello! I finally got the news I received placement in the Mayo Clinic Nurse Externship for the hospital in Phoenix. I wanted to see if anyone else on here will be there as well? I was told there are 29 spots total! I got placed at 7W heme/onc floor f...

Awesome, I am also in the NAU/cep fast track but with Scottsdale CC. I graduate in December as well. :)

Awesome! Look forward to meeting you! Can I ask what program you are in here?

Yes this is an unpaid Externship from June 8-July 30th

Did you also get the rejection/invitation to apply email? I had a total of five e-mails yesterday from Summer III, and one to mention there was a system error... wasn't sure if all the alternates got those or not.

I emailed yesterday and decided to ask :) Will let you know what she says.

The most I've heard is 5. I want to call and ask but I'm too scared!

Congrats!! I got an email to be an alternate. So close, but still honored! :)

Congrats on getting in! You will love SCC! The professors are amazing and really connect with the students. You get a skills bag that is provided to you and you are able to practice as much as you want outside class. Lab time is not so necessary th...
