SCRIPPS New Graduate Nurse Program August 2011

Published

Hello, I wanted to start this thread for the Scripps Healthcare new graduate nurse position. The program was suppose to start August 12th 2011 from what I was told. Just wanted to start getting familiar with all of the people that applied and hopefully get some useful information going in this thread!:)

@ lizardRN well where else is there to apply to rite now? Im going to do UCSD this month whenever it opens, but where else?

@Jusniko: Didn't UCSD just do a new grad program? I heard they ended up hiring internally.

Just applied to Torrance Versant (in LA) & Desert Versant (in Palm Springs) new grad programs, Highland Hospital (Oakland).....really wanted to stay in SD, but willing to go anywhere in Ca. Have u heard of any others?

The man that you interviewed with is Randy. I did my leadership rotation with him in the nursing program and he's awesome! However, because I wrote him down as a reference I didn't interview or get hired on his side (6E) which is his side of the floor. I interviewed with Megan on 6W.

I also interviewed with Randy. He was really nice. Did anyone get hired on 6E?

For those of us that interviewed with Mercy Trauma... I've been silently following and wanted to add something.

I spoke to Toni a couple of days ago and found out that they only offered 2 positions for trauma. I have no idea how many were interviewed, and I am telling myself that the spots were probably filled by internal applicants. Knowing this made me feel a little bit better about not being offered a position even though it's another reminder of how hard new grad programs are to get!

I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and I hope everyone stays positive and finds something in the meantime...

Good luck to you all in finding a job and congrats to those who were hired!

Its definitely discouraging, but I also believe (or am trying to tell myself) that everything happens for a reason and it wasn't my time to work at Scripps.

Thanks for the great advice & support of everyone on this thread during this incredibly stressful time. :hug:

I'm sorry to anyone else who received the rejection email yesterday. I feel your pain and I know how upset I was when I read it, so you are not alone. Did they accept 62 people or only 40? I thought that part of the email was confusing. Definitely a huge disappointment. Congrats to those who were offered jobs. I hope you know just how lucky you are to have the opportunity.
