Hey, I was wondering if you could give me any info at all about how the interview process was and if you ended up liking your floor. Thank you in advance.

Hey! Assuming they do everything the same, I did a panel interview with all the managers and educators of all the floors, about 12 of them. They each asked 1 question. You write a first choice unit then second choice, but they could offer you a position at one or neither of those. They pick the group they're hiring out of all the applicants then assign them units I think. There was 30 of us in my cohort, but all subsequent cohorts have been smaller and smaller. I worked in tele for a year then jumped ship to Sharp cardiac PCU now. I went there cause it was my only shot of working day shift straight of nursing school and there were rumors of a UCSD partnership but honestly such a great experience esp tele bc you see really sick patients short of the ICU and the nurses have been there forever so they know SO MUCH. Like any other thing, you get what you put in, but I would do it over and over again. They can be short staffed to a ridiculous degree though and we didn't get breaks at times, and everything is kinda ghetto but my mentality was "if I can work here, I can work anywhere" and it worked 🙂 Feel free to message me!

Thank you so much for responding! It seems I'm not able to message you on this sight. However, I was wondering what the interview questions were like
