Scripps New Grad July/Oct 2015

BostonTerrier · Jun 17, 2015

Was there an advantage to submitting the application right after it went up? I saw on the website that the posting would close early if too many applications were received but I was hoping so long as the application was open all submissions would be reviewed.

My status updates to under hiring review, no call for an interview yet though! And as far as applying early I'm not sure, I think there are a lot of rumours that they only look at the first few hundred but who's to say that's true!

Hi everyone! Happy to see a thread about this Scripps New Grad. I sent in my application at 9. I started it at 830 and I was surprised it was up early. A coworker said it would be up around 8 to 9ish but It was up I think around 730. I did receive a background check email 3 days later but I have not heard since. My status still says hiring manager review. No interview yet. Also this is my first time applying. So are they going to call for a interview? Good luck everyone! hopefully we get emails or calls soon because I remember on the website interviews were on the 24/25th of this month? thats next week! Goodluck everyone! hopefully we get responses tonight

ahhh I wish I knew everyone applies right away. Never applied to scripps before and completed my BSN in Boston so don't know anyone else applying. I hope I get that background check email!

Has anyone heard back about interviews yet. My application still says submission received. Since, I didn't get an email about a background check I should probably stop checking my email and waiting by the phone:( Those that are getting the emails for the background check and "hiring review" statuses at what time did you put in your application?

I hear you, I'm stalking my email, I only saw the few posts on fb about people getting interviews so they seem to be still processing apps, hopefully we will know more today so we don't have so much suspense over the weekend!!

What FB posts are you seeing? Are they people that you know or is there a page? At least you got a background check request and your status changed. I haven't had either happen. I think that I should just go to plan B at this point:(

On fb look up new grad RN San Diego, there is a group with very helpful info and everyone is very motivating! Let's keep positive thoughts! They have a lot of apps to look through so it's gonna take some time!

It's funny that this went up as I was preparing my list for new grad programs to start looking at applying to next year (hopefully they'll still be taking applications -- I remember looking a year ago and they weren't doing so). I'm just curious as to everyone's backgrounds. I'm not sure on what is considered competitive and I'm struggling finding any information on that. If someone wouldn't mind posting their specs (or mentioning what is generally considered competitive), I would be eternally grateful.

Good luck, everyone! I hope to see great outcomes! :)

La Chica suerte, heres some info that may be helpful to you. If you can or are working in acute care before you apply I feel that it is a great advantage. If you are still in school I know its hard, but it is doable. I was fortunate to get an interview. It could be entirely because I worked for Scripps before. I only have an ADN but I am currently completing my BSN. I have PALS, BLS, ACLS, NIH stroke scale certification, and an active RN license. I had 5 letters of recommendation, all from Scripps employees. Also, it helps to go to the Scripps website and check out their nursing core values and incorporate those into your cover letter. I worked as a CNA at Scripps for 3 years and at UCSD in their float pool. I hope this is helpful. I feel like there are so few people on any forums who got interviews. Possibly they are just not posting.

Has anyone heard anything? I thought the recruiter said we would find out this week but I guess the holiday has messed that up.

Also does anyone know how many people total (internal/external) they interviewed? She said they are hiring 50-60 new grads but I wasn't sure how many total they met with.
