Hi all, I only recently started working at my current place of employment, a rehab/skilled nursing facility, in late May 2014. I have been shuffled around between many different positions, mostly AM/PM Charge Nurse and Treatment Nurse. Management a...

Congratulations psulli2010! Are you starting November 4th as well? Are you also a new grad? I'm glad I won't be alone, even if we'll be in different units!

Congratulations on your interview FutureCruzanRN! I don't think they offer phone/skype interviews, but I could be wrong. If you're committed and really want the job, I would recommend traveling for it, especially if you have an interview that inclu...

Thank you mmc for the info about your shadow interview!

Hi all -- I just was invited to interview for the PICU (SNIP) this morning -- I'll be there next Wednesday, September 18th! Eek. Does anybody have any idea what we are expected to do on the floor during our shadow experience? I've never had to s...

And congrats to you two for getting interviews!

Linds, I totally get you. It's really hard to know what they're looking for. I thought that I had a semi-good chance (as I think we all did), but apparently not. I have heard that Sharp favors SD-area nurses over nurses from other areas. reeki and ...

I'm sorry to be such a pooper I certainly hope I'm wrong!!

Anybody know how many spaces there are or how many they're interviewing? It's been so long that I'm wondering if they have already chosen and interviewed, but it was only a small amount of people and maybe those people haven't been involved in the f...

I'm also from the Bay Area. Did you all have your preceptorships in the NICU? Hope we hear good news soon :)

No word, did you?

I applied on 6/30 and received the screening on 7/1. I don't know if they sent it to everyone or not, unfortunately. In the past, I've received similar screenings for other programs from other hospitals, which have only been sent out to a select nu...

I applied and did receive an email for screening. We'll see! Good luck!

Well, they're at least sending out the rejection emails for Cohort 2; I'm bummed to say that I got mine this morning. So no news might be good news if you haven't heard. Good luck to everybody still in the running!

I also got rejected from cohort 3 last night. Hopefully today is the day we hear about cohort 2! Good luck to everybody.

hlachoffrn and tinatuna -- I'm really sorry to hear you guys didn't get any communication from C-S. I'm crossing my fingers you get some positive feedback! zombmurse -- My appointment is at 2:30 pm (same as you, Nursai!) As for questions, I think...

Sue_RN, I graduated in November 2012 with a BSN (second bachelor's). I do not have any paid RN experience, but I have been volunteering at a clinic. states, thanks so much for the info about the 3rd interview. Puts my mind at ease a little bit! Th...

Ok correction, of course I zeroed in on the only place it says 2012 (in the RSVP section) -- it says 2013 everywhere else! Sorry bout that.

Did you notice that it says 2012 and not 2013 though? Oh well, that's probably just due to a lack of proofreading. It was addressed personally so I hope that's a good sign! Does anybody know how many are invited for this event?

Ah thank you so much gastro2012! (And congrats!) It was in my spam folder too -- hope this isn't a mean trick somebody is playing on us!

@stephiem -- I'm so sorry to hear that. It's always such a letdown when yet another rejection letter arrives. Keep on applying and prepping answers for interview questions. There's a reason we all made it through nursing school and passed the NCLE...

I'll be there on Wednesday too! My time slot is at 4:30 pm -- I'll be biting my nails all day for sure! @kdawsonRN, to answer your question, I'm not out of state but I am in SF, so it's not terribly close. Not sure if you were asking for license ...

Well good luck on the rest! I was disappointed to read (either on this thread or the others? I don't remember) that if we didn't go to school in Sac or the surrounding areas we have very little chance of getting selected. I'm from the Bay Area soo...

@charis, what departments did you apply to? I haven't heard anything yet but I only applied to Neuro, so maybe they haven't sent that info out yet...

Just had my phone screen. For future phone interviewees, they asked questions about what makes a good employee, conflict resolution, and decision making, in addition to the "why Cedars?" and "why you?". The woman said that they screened over 100 ca...
