Sharp New Grad Program Summer 2013

Published

So like our predecessors I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for all the new applicants for Sharp's summer 2013 new grad program. I just applied today and can't believe how nervous I am since I hit that submit button!! Good luck to all!!

Specializes in Near Future: ED, Future Future: ACNP!.

Last time I applied in early October and interviewed at the end of December. They take FOREVER. Some departments phone screen prior to bringing you in for an interview, some do not. The department I interviewed with did not.

my application has gone missing as well - I tried to call but only got a message... are you sure there is not an issue if our application goes missing?

I applied to Sharp Memorial MS-PCU and Chula Vista MS/PCU/ICU.... Also, my application disappeared. Glad to know there are others. Freaked me out.

Anxiously awaiting. I spoke with a current nurse at Sharp and she told me that its really difficult to even get an interview if you don't know anyone. I unfortunately, don't know anyone at Sharp and went to school in Colorado. I'm staying positive, but I'm off to an interview in Texas next week. Wish me luck, although I'd love to stay in San Diego.

Good luck to you! I'm applying to out of state positions too (I'm on my 167th application as we speak). I'm having a hard time with an out of state address though. How are you getting past that?

I know the feeling of completing soooooo many applications. I try to follow up with recruiters, even if it is just for a minute. I list my local address in San Diego. I tell them I'm excited about the possibility of relocation and endorsing my license. I think Texas and North Carolina have pretty robust job markets for new grads, way better than California. I used to have a really basic cover letter, I changed mine up to reflect more of my personality and passions, so far it's really paid off. I have one interview since I changed it 4 days ago. Or else it may just be luck.

One last thing, I try to apply to hospitals that have transplant units. I did two clinical rotations including my senior preceptorship on transplant in Colorado, I emphasize that and how it's transferable to other units. All I can say is be yourself with your cover letter, and don't start it off with a generic opening line.

Hope that helps, M

I am licensed in the state I'm applying to. I definitely need to start following up more with recruiters. I think my cover letter is ok, I just don't think many people read it once they see my address. So frustrating!

Thank you for the advice! And good luck again!

Anyone know about interview options for out-of-state applicants? If I had the opportunity to interview, I would prefer face-to-face, but if they offer Skype, that'd be MUCH easier on my wallet.

Good luck to all :)

I am not sure how Sharp's interview process is, but if it is anything like Scripps, it is pretty competitive and for that, it is a face-to-face interview with a panel of 3 to 5 unit managers. Good luck to you and I hope we hear soon :)
