Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

[SDnurse2011]

Hello fellow new grads!

I'm starting this post to round up all the applicants for the 2013 cohort at Scripps in San Diego. I called HR today and they were rather tight-lipped about when the application would post, and was told "It will post in about 30-45 days" and to "keep checking the website". Enlightening, isn't it? Also to those who applied for the last round and will be re-applying, any tips you want to share for us newbies? thanks and I look forward to hearing from everyone that's just as stressed as I am.

i really want to email them to check in and see what's up, but i'm afraid it'll come off as overbearing. However, I REALLY wanna put in my two weeks notice asap, so I can have a "break" before starting the program.

I just got a call too and scheduled my appointment. I was just about to send an email inquiring about it, lol. Luckily they called before I hit send. I was beginning to think something was wrong, eek! Can't wait to get going already!!

I have not received the call yet but I did turn my background info in late so I'll give it till the end of the wk. For those who have received a call was it to schedule your physical exam etc? If you are working right now have you given your two weeks notice yet?

I didn't get a call. But I did get an email this morning letting me know that I have new tasks to complete. When I signed on, one said, "Now that your background check has cleared you must make your new hire appt....." There's that and a few other tasks to complete.

b217 Thanks, I just checked and I did get the email too! Does anyone have any idea how long we will be in orientation/training before we start at our selected hosp? Just curious, I'm so excited!

[spanglec]

I believe we do our orientation/training at hospital is the way my enployment lady made it sound?

Congrats to those who got job offers. I am thinking about applying for the next round. I was wondering if any of you could share some tips or your background info (gpa, adn or bsn, CA resident, etc...) Thanks so much!!!
