Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

Published

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.

Just got back from my appointment and it seems as though its three 12's + one 4 hr class.
how long did your appointment take? mines is tomorrow morning, but i also have class later.

I had my appointment last Friday - she gave me the orientation week schedule - week of the 25 is 8-4ish M-F in a couple of different locations- on one of the forms, it said that we should get our schedules from our manager but does not say when to do that - I am guessing they will explain more on the 25th :-)) not sure if the days tues -Friday are for the entire new grad group or location specific - one day was location specific, but the rest appeared to be generic information/ training classes.

The physical consisted of v/s, weight, squat, bend at the waist, twist - also distance vision , color blindness test and depth perception.

The appointment took about 40 min.

I had my appt today. She said to call or email your manger before orientation to touch base and talk about schedule after orientation.

Hi all,

To those that already went to their new hire appt, what did you wear? I'm assuming at this point that nice casual is ok? Thanks!!

I wore something that I would want to show on my badge photo - no strapless dresses ..:-))

Casual :-)

I was going to work after so I was wearing scrubs. I saw people walking in wearing jeans. I am so excited and can't wait for the 25th!!

Has anyone been able to schedule the wellness appointment? Every time I call (Mercy), no one picks up!

Be persistent and keep calling. It took me awhile too (though I'm at a different location), and I managed to get same day appointment. They know we are trying to call. They are expecting us, and they're probably just really busy. So keep at it.

I think phone calls are starting to go out. I got an offer last night for Scripps Mercy Hospital on either their DOU (Definitive Observation Unit) or their Trauma Observation Unit.
