  1. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    Hi all! I just applied to the VA's new graduate program in Palo Alto (The due date was January 26, 2012). I was hoping those that applied could keep in tabs and update others when news is received. Good luck to everyone!
  2. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    I went to Samuel Merritt University (their ABSN program). I applied for out of state endorsement after accepting the job. The salary range is considerably lower than $50 (the most that I know any of my fellow students starting out with is $40, but ...
  3. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    I did phone interviews (with speaker phone with a panel of people). I don't know how competitive it was, but you look up any of those hospitals on this website and you won't find much information on them. So, the competition is not like it is for U...

    I accepted a job at the Toledo Hospital in Toledo, Ohio. They have a critical care new graduate program that accepts about 20 students. I was also offered a job at a mental health facility (the night shift) in Fargo, North Dakota, and I got a call ...

    Yeah, I just got my rejection, too. Congratulations to everyone who got job offers! And for those of us that didn't, I think we're just meant for something else.
  6. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    I actually completely forget to ask when they would be making their decision! But no, I haven't heard of anyone being contact yet. I know I wasn't! :)
  7. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    Sorry I meant to write sooner but this week had been crazy. I had an interview this week at Menlo Park. There were three interviewers, all very nice. The confusing part was I thought I was being interviewed for a mental health unit, and instead it...

    Thanks Bella2004!
  9. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    I'm REALLY glad they didn't wait a month to start to contact folks. I have no idea what's after the 1-1 interview (I'll let you know how it goes). For the folks who haven't received calls yet, don't fret! They probably are making a lot more calls ...
  10. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    Note: The interview is at Menlo Park--so I'm not sure if they are having all the interviews there (probably not) or just interviews for those considered at that site...? Menlo Park was not my first or second choice for placement, however (not that ...
  11. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    I got a call today (I was super thrilled!) and they set up what sounds like a 1-1 interview next week.
  12. VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

    Yeah, that does seem like the case. I'm hoping they'll get a move on things earlier. I live in the Bay Area, California, and just got a job offer at a behavioral health center in North Dakota that would begin March 2. I don't know if the move woul...

    Wow, I don't even remember specifying...but I did mention geriatrics in my cover letter.
  14. UCSD Medical Center New Grad Program January 2012

    For Thornton Hospital on my application status it says "Others More Competitive 12/06/2011" so I guess they just updated that today. Under Hillcrest it still just says application received

  16. UCLA New Grad RN Program-Winter 2012

    Hi folks, Wondering if anyone was interviewed and/or given a job offer from the psych department and what you think got you the interview? I applied for psych, got to the second stage of the recruitment process, but then UCLA did not call for an int...

    I'm trying to remember whether it was UCSD or UC Davis that asked for out GPA during the application process...anyone remember?

    I'm trying to remember whether it was UCSD or UC Davis that asked for out GPA during the application process...anyone remember?
  19. UC Davis 2012

    Just got the e-mail about moving forward to the reference stage. I went through an ABSN program, and had previous experience volunteering in an ER and a psych unit. I also had worked in a rehab center as an activities leader. My status still says...

  21. UCLA New Grad RN Program-Winter 2012

    Thanks so much for sharing patient RN! That really was thorough and informative. I thought they might be doing interviews on Nov. 29th, or even Dec 5th, but since the interviewer told you two weeks, now I doubt that. It's good to know to stop wait...
  22. UCLA New Grad RN Program-Winter 2012

    Congratulations MrNurse2011! So there were only 10 applications to the department or 10 applicants being interviewed for that department?
  23. Scripps New Grad Training Program

    I just got a reject email . I applied Wed night, and my status never changed from submission received. They said they got 1100 submissions and looked at the first 500, as they said they would. I hope those folks who haven't heard anything will fair...
  24. Scripps New Grad Training Program

    That's a good thing gdoubleu! My status just says "Submission Received", which might mean I didn't get it in by the first 500 applications. (I didn't send my application in until late Wednesday, Nov. 9)
