Did anyone else apply to the Tri-City Medical Center (Oceanside, CA) new grad program for Spring 2023? Haven't seen much about this program so curious if anyone else applied. Also does anyone have experience with working there as a new grad? Would just like to hear more about it and whether you enjoy working there.
CaliforniaNurse1 41 Posts Dec 6, 2022 Oh cool! No haven’t heard yet. I think the email said next week. What units were you top choices and when did you interview? The interview was a little confusing for me, I didn’t expect all units at once.
newnurse652 6 Posts Has 2 years experience. Dec 6, 2022 My top 3 were NICU, L&D and mother baby. Not sure if they are hiring those floors besides NICU. Hbu? My interview is tomorrow! Did they say how many people they’re taking for each unit? I’m confused 😕
CaliforniaNurse1 41 Posts Dec 6, 2022 Yea NICU is my top and really only choice of the ones they have. There is no L&D or Postpartum for this program. They didn’t say how many for NICU but I think it’s 2 because of the job posting but not sure. Do you have background/experience in NICU?
newnurse652 6 Posts Has 2 years experience. Dec 6, 2022 Oh interesting. I did my senior internship in a NICU back in Boston. But that’s it. Hbu?
CaliforniaNurse1 41 Posts Dec 6, 2022 Oh that’s awesome! Should give you a good chance. My school didn’t have internship placements in the NICU, so I only have some clinical time there from school and some of the certifications. Not really sure how many applied or what to expect. Good luck!
CaliforniaNurse1 41 Posts Dec 6, 2022 Thanks! Let us know how your interview was and if they told you anything more about hearing back etc!
