Hey guys! There doesn't seem to be a thread yet for the UCD new grad program (application opened today) so I thought I would start it. I filled out the application today and it seemed very basic in terms of new grad apps (no place to request certain units) and I was a little worried about the document attachment section. In the beginning of the application there is a page to attach our one document resume with all the necessary materials (resume, transcripts, cover letter, etc). I attached a PDF, and it said it successfully attached, but there is no way to go back and review the upload so of course i'm stressing over whether it was really attached! :) If anyone else wants to chime in with their experience I would be grateful. And good luck everyone!
The applications for the current cohorts (starting February and April 2018) were due in November.
If you are interested in applying for the 2 cohorts later in the year, yes, you apply under "External Applicants" on the UCD Health jobs portal. I'd suggest making an account and creating a "job Search Agent" for the "RN-New Grad" category to be notified when they open. There's also info about the date the next application opens on the New Grad Residency page Nurse Recruitment | UC Davis Health System Human Resources
The next cohorts (for August and October) accept application May 2-9 according to the website.
I've accepted a position on the PICU for the April cohort! I know the ICU float pool has also offered positions.
I've taken the liberty of creating a Facebook group for our cohort! Search for "UC Davis New Grad Residency Cohort 24"! I found a FB group helpful when I was starting nursing school in a new city, and figure it will be helpful for us, as well.
Best of luck to everyone!
