UC Davis Nurse Residency September 2013 cohort

U.S.A. California

Published

The application filing just opened less than hour ago and they will accept the first 500 applications for review.

I thought I would start up a new thread so we can all share in the application process.

Also, anyone have any tips from prior cohorts with regards to the application process?

Would you be willing to shed some light on the process? How were the interviews? I've heard something about a skills assessment or something? How long was it from application to interviewing to being hired? And so forth..

Thanks in advance :)

USUALLY applications get forwarded to floors that are hiring based on your preceptorship. EX: if you precepted on telemetry and they're hiring, your app has a higher chance of getting forwarded as opposed to someone who didn't precept in telemetry. This is just a pattern I've seen but I also know of people who precepted on a certain unit and that unit was hiring, but they weren't given a chance to interview. There is no way to know if your app is forwarded though because no one will disclose that info.

Recruitment won't know which units are hiring until 6wks before the start date so you guys probably won't hear back until probably late August-early September.

You'll only get to the skills assessment after your interview if the managers consider you to be a top candidate and it's really just a reference check. Interviews are panels and it depends on the unit how many they want on the panel.

Hope that helps!

So if you get an interview it is a panel interview in a department in which you precepted? Then if they like you they give you a skills assessment? People keep saying the "skills assessment" is they just contact like 6 references and have them fill out a survey of you? Is this correct and also how many people are on the panel interview and is it just one interview? Any help on questions asked?

Any updates anyone? Any internals applying? I think I will call HR next week to see if there is any information about units accepting grads and a timeline.

I was wondering the same thing... I haven't heard anything, I'm assuming they're sorting through apps
