Hi all,

Good luck!

Hello, I have been reading this thread and similar threads like this. I was just wondering, is this program for RNs only?

Just curious....do those who have gotten interviews, or know people who have gotten interviews, have an ADN degree or BSN degree. Just wondering if Sharp if only contacting BSNs.

Thanks

You're Tall,

I haven't talked to many outside of my class, but those of us who had at least a phone interview are all in a BSN program. I haven't heard from my friends in ADN programs yet, or anything from Sharp about what they're looking for.

Specializes in Med/Surg.

Yes, Sharp Memorial hires BSN's or MSN's. They are magnet status and part of that requirement is BSN educated nurses. I do know of a few recent hires who have had an ADN, but were in a BSN program at the time. Those were internal candidates though. If you have an ADN, I suggest enrolling in an online BSN program. There are just too many BSN's to compete with nowadays. I think Sharp Grossmont has a contract of sorts with Grossmont college for hiring ADN's from that program.
