I got an offer for maternity today! Congrats to all those that received offers see you at orientation!

Hi! I found out about 40 hours later that I passed when I checked the ca breeze site. I happened to get up at 5am to pee and decided to check and my name was there! So you don't even have to wait exactly 48 hours.

I feel like I wake up anxious everyday hoping that TODAY they will tell us LOL!! We all need to know for some peace of mind. Update us once anyone hears anything! Have any other units made offers?

I called about 25 mins ago. I think the same lady had picked up for us, but she later transferred my call to a man who knows specifically about the new grad program (hard to explain this without using names haha). He said that decisions have not yet ...

What really? Why didn't HR mention Friday cut off to me I just got off the phone with them. I wonder if everyone has finished their skills survey - that could be a possible hold up?

Maternity folks- i called HR today and was told that maternity unit has yet to make their decisions. Its crazy how the start date would be this month and we don't know yet.

Marthakk, I haven't heard a peep about the maternity spots!

Hi secondlifen2b, I just wanted to say that I understand how difficult it is. I submitted my app March 1st (CA resident) and it took them about 17 weeks to get back to me.They also told me that I was missing documents even though I uploaded them as a...

I am really hoping so too, fingers & toes crossed. I'll update this thread once I hear back yay or nay. Until then I'm going to be patient(or try at least haha!). Good luck to all

BTW are we the only two who got reference checks for maternity? Anyone else? Also assuming that not everyone who got interviewed/got skills survey uses Allnurses of course!

Yay hope everyone has their references in so the managers can pick the 2 maternity new grads soon!! :) I am somewhat familiar with Sac and know that midtown is a nicer area to live bc of the restaurants, bars, coffee shops. I was looking on craiglist...

Jayylay, did you go to school in the Sac area/or live near the medical center? If I did get the position I would be moving from 2 hours away and would need to arrange for an apartment as well as a car! That's the tricky part because I can't further a...

Thanks for the info! Well when I talked to the recruiter, he said said that getting the reference check means you're a strong/top candidate so good news! Yes it's such a nice unit(s) and awesome to hear that we would get trained in pp, triage, ante, ...

OMG, couple of weeks?!! But theres only 5 ish weeks left until the new grad program starts LOL. Maybe I should stop being so impatient haha. How did your interview go!?(I'm assuming the tour at the end and scrub talk is done for all candidates!?) Did...

Also my application status says routed even though the unit I interviewed for is done interviewing as of today. So it doesn't tell us much unfortunately :/

Sodaybay and Sagittariusnurse, I hope you both hear soon. I know UCDMC does interview very close to the start date. For perinatal the interviews were July 6-20th (but don't know about any other unit) so I hope you get a call this week. Also some mana...

I believe we are suppose to hear about offers this week(from what nurse recruitment told me last Friday)! Good luck everyone :) Also a Q if anyone knows the answer. Does the orientation include certifications like ACLS, BLS, NRP?

Another thing you can do is become a Nurse's assistant and many employers will have some tuition assistance for you to complete your BSN, MSN, etc. (although be aware it won't necessarily be 100% tuition coverage and you would be on your own for hous...

One option that is available across the states is joining ROTC and pursuing a nursing degree at an university. There were a few classmates that did this and got tuition covered, books, housing, and a stipend. BUT- they woke at 5 am for their works on...

Orangethecat, wow that's such an accomplishment to have two offers in such competitive units! Thanks for sharing your timeline. I got interviewed July 6th, reference check July 8th (they all turned it in by the 12th), and now waiting to hear back. I'...

If anyone gets a maternity spot (there's only 2!) Please inform us! my references are done and I've updated the hiring managers now that I have my ATT and I've sent my thank-you card but no other communication with them. Thank you!

orangethecat, CONGRATULATIONS! If you don't mind sharing, how many days after the reference check did you hear back about your offer? Did they email or call, and was it HR or the managers of your unit!? Thanks in advance

Did anyone receive an offer for the August cohort yet? I am patiently waiting to hear back - the wait is the worst part!!

I got my skills survey for the 5 references today!

Did anyone who interviewed this week get the reference check yet? I know that would be the next step in this process
