Sharp New Grad Program Summer 2019

Correct me if I’m wrong.....

but from my understanding I thought the second choice was only being considered if our first choice was cancelled??? Like if the program was being cancelled? So I thought that basically if you got denied from your first, you’re basically denied overall?

But feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!!

What it said on the new grad application: applicants are ONLY considered for their first choice unless 1) their first choice program is completely cancelled and no o e starts it, or 2) if their second choice has room for more applicants (this is highly unlikely. Either no people applied to that department or they weren’t happy with any of the applicants and want to look at more applications).

So - for almost everyone - my understanding is also that our first shot is our only shot.

Hi there! I'm an internal candidate. Can I ask you how you heard this information? Reason being is that I put my current unit of work at Grossmont as my second choice (put another unit as my first choice) and I never heard this from my educator who told me to make sure I apply. I just don't see a point in it being this way? ? I don't understand why the second choice would only be considered if the first is cancelled. Just wanted to hear your insight in case there was something I missed!

It was listed on the application

Where on the application did it say this? Maybe I missed it because I don't recall.

Do you remember which part of it? Was your application internal or external? Maybe I'm crazy but I really just can't remember reading this! Lol ?

Anyone else get a ranking email for Sharp Memorial?

@SanDiegoNewGradRN haven't heard anything since the self identify ? is it asking you to rank between med surg units?

Yes, med surg

Hello all,

Great seeing everybody here with updates. Good luck to us all!

I'll be graduating with an ADN this May, been working as a nursing assistant with Sharp for two years and applied to Grossmont 2E and short obs. Received the email to self-identify but it doesn't seem like anything changed. My app is still "under consideration" but the date changed from when I submitted my app to the day that I clicked on that link.

Still haven't heard anything else since
