Hi all! This is a thread for those who applied to Rady's 2018 New Grad RN Residency (posting closed 11/22/17). Please share updates and status changes here so we're all in the loop! Thanks! I applied to Med-Behavioral.

To all out of state applicants... San Diego has a plethora of new graduates who are local and don't get jobs either. Those who do have worked, volunteered, or precepted in the hospital. I have 15 years of health care experience, including as an LVN, ...

The New Grad posting appeared on their website; New Grad programs in California may only appear a few times a year -- you just have to keep checking back. You can try calling Human Resources and asking when the next posting is. Good luck!

Had my second interview for med-behavioral yesterday. No offer at this time, but it's going to take awhile (could be 1-3 weeks) for a decision. Different schedule for different units. P.S. Congratulations!!!

Not me. But, someone posted anonymously on a New Grad RN Interview FB site asking about Mary Birch interview questions, so I assume that they got an interview.

Your age is irrelevant. There are 25 year olds in terrible shape with no stamina and my 70 yo mother-in-law just finished a bike trip - across Eastern Europe. What matters is as Nurse Beth says - what is your geographical location and where can new g...

I got a call for a second interview with med behavioral for next week. So each unit definitely has its own system:-)

No idea! I do know that they all have their own system so it could go either way!

which was your first choice?

I think it is all unit specific. Did they tell you you needed a second interview?

I interviewed last week for the medical behavioral unit and was told that if I "passed" I'd be contacted for interview #2 within 1-2 weeks. References will come after that interview if I'm chosen to move forward. It is not a short process to be sure!

I have an interview scheduled this week as well -- med behavioral. My status didn't change. Comically though, my status from my JULY application finally changed! :-) I wouldn't go by the status...

I haven't. But, I spoke with the recruiter last week, and she said that she was still going through the applications. She said there won't be interviews until January.

I love stories like yours. Stories where people genuinely change, and put in the time and hard work necessary to change their own lives and circumstances. Congratulations!

Hi - first let me say - I feel for you. When you really want to move it feels so urgent and you just want to be where you want to be NOW. I get it!! BUT - re California - there is NO WAY to get a job out here on the coast (the central valley desert a...

an FYI for anyone who applied to the Chula OB unit: they are apparently overstaffed and not going to hire this round (despite posting). So if that was your one unit.... they aren't hiring:-(.

I could write a book to answer this... but suffice it to say, yes, it's that hard for new grads anywhere coastal. I'm bilingual, have two master's degrees, a 4.0 GPA, and every certification under the sun, and it's been insanely hard. Unless you have...

Wow thanks for posting this- I hadn't noticed and had just assumed that I wasn't called and that was the end of it! But maybe not!

Absolutely, positively take the job you potentially have with the strong connections. It's been a year, and those don't come around every day!! However, go ahead and continue to pursue the dream job as well. First of all, you may very well not get it...

Any calls from Chula Vista (obgyn)?

No, I didn't. Mine was "under consideration" on the day I applied, and then updated again on Nov. 1 to the same thing, "under consideration." I was just wondering if they had started to post the next step yet.

Anyone gotten "referred to hiring manager" on your online status yet?

The most important issue here is NOT your potential nursing license - it is WHO YOU WILL EVENTUALLY KILL by driving drunk. If you kill yourself, that is your own choice - sad - but your choice. If and WHEN you cause an accident and kill or maim innoc...

Yep, I got the declination email as well. Congratulations and best wishes to whomever got the job!

No phone calls for me yet. If anyone gets an offer... please post and put the rest of us out of our misery...
