2023 SCVMC New Grad/Clinical Nurse I

[msy]

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.

Yes, there were about 9 people there, about 4 were RNPA

Did anyone from SICU/ICU get anything from the unit yet?

Nope! Haven't heard/gotten anything yet.

Do you guys know what the dress code is for our scrubs (any specific color or do they provide us with some). And do we wear scrubs when we do our trainings?

Hmm, I was stalking SCVMC on socials and it doesn't seem like they have a specific scrub color. For the critical care training, the letter of expectation file from K.S. says, "Attire: We expect that you dress appropriately for the classroom and clinical orientation. Our classroom temperature fluctuates, so dress in layers for comfort. Dress in a professional casual attire/scrub with closed toe shoes." If they didn't specify on a color I'm just gonna assume they don't have one lmao

I still haven't picked up my badge, since I was out of the country. Now the question is, scrubs or normal clothes? It's raining all week!

I was thinking the same thing! Since it's nursing orientation still, not classes, I'm not too sure. I hope they let us know by the end of today

Hmm I reread the expectations letter msy mentioned and it did say " Dress in a professional casual attire/scrub with closed toe shoes.” So it may be safer to wear scrubs?? Or we could all team up and just wear scrubs so we for sure won't be the only ones LOL

Hi everyone! 
I am applied to the SCVMC Critical Care position that starts in September 2023. I was wondering hay types of questions did you all have? Any of tips/advice on interviewing? 

[ikerr]

Please help and explain what the exam is for, prior to being hired?? Do we get classroom education before taking the exam, so we know what they are testing us on?

Hi! I just applied to the Unclassified Speciality training program for late this year and I was wondering if anyone had any info on the test prior to hiring? How did everyone get their eligibility ranking?
