2023 SCVMC New Grad/Clinical Nurse I

Published

Hi everyone ?

I noticed that the only forums about SCVMC's (Santa Clara Valley Medical Center) new grad/clinical nurse I positions were from 2022, so I was hoping to start a new one for this year as interviews roll around and new positions become available.

Also I heard from other threads on here that the training is really good and here's some of the layout:

During classes it's usually in an actual classroom not like in zoom.

When we're in clinicals we start off with tasks like meds all shift, then assessments all shift, then charting all shift. We then start multitasking like meds and assessments all shift, until we do all of them.

They also talk about some of the extra help differences but don't quite remmebr what they saadi. It should be on the thread called SCVMC 2022 tho if anyone is interested!!

Anyone know the time frames of the shifts? Also anyone else on AM shift? ?

I think days are generally 7am-3pm, evenings are 3pm-11pm, and nights are 11pm-7pm. 

Does anyone know for sure how overtime here works?  For instance, is it 1.5x if you work over 8h?

Thanks. Can I ask your thoughts about having another job while doing the critical care training? do you think it's possible?

Realistically, I would think probably not since the training is 5 days a week (someone can check me on this). Plus once the didactic portion ends, your shift time on the units is variable.. which means at some point you will work days, evening, and night shift.

Oh what! The shifts are variable? So we won't only be working the shift stated on our offer letter?

Are y'all getting an offer letter? I got the verbal offer and have been doing the onboarding, but never received any letter email or mail ?

Well that was my impression?  But I didn't have a set shift on my offer letter, but I also only received an email about a verbal offer letter, so I don't know if the circumstances are different here...

If anyone has an perspectives and can weigh in on here, it'd be much appreciated!

What I have heard from people who have worked at the PCU is that if you can work there, you can work anywhere! ?
