UC Davis - Nurse Residency - October 2012

Published

I'm starting this thread for anyone who has applied to the UC Davis Nurse Residency for October 2012.

Good luck to us all!! :)

Hey everyone, just found this board.

I had an interview today for Pediatrics. The NM said they looked at ~27 applications (those were forwarded from HR), they were interviewing about half of those, and then they had 2, maybe 3 positions. They would probably have decisions by early next week.

With those odds, who knows!

But good luck to everyone that applied/interviewed! :-)

Hey there. Just spoke to Nurse Recruitment. He said that some units are still making calls for interviews. He said that due to the high number of applicants (over 700) they are sticking to folks who had a senior preceptorship in the kind of units that are hiring. There are only 10 job openings total. ICU didn't request any new hires, so that leaves me out. Good luck to everyone else! The guy in Nurse Recruitment was very friendly and helpful, so if you have questions go ahead and call him.

Hey everyone - I'm really confused about what cohort you guys are talking about. I last applied in early 2012 and interviewed in April (but wasn't accepted). When was this October 2012 cohort posted? Did I completely miss it? I was under the impression that UCD only offers new grad residencies twice a year.... I know the next one is opening up in a few days. Thanks

They are referring to the cohort that begins this month. The job posting for this October cohort was from June 2012.

:wideyed: Thanks. I had no idea that cohort existed. I was told they only offered the new grad positions 2x a year. Bummer. :cry:

The October application will be my 3rd time applying to UCD.

I can relate. :( Hopefully the March 2013 cohort will have way more spots!

I went to a career fair last week & the nurse recruiter in charge of the residency told me that she expects the next cohort to be huge! Hope so! She said that for the last group they only hired 14 which was 3% of the total applicants!

it was easier to get into UCD even few years ago and now it just impossible

I was lucky to get into OR training. I hope more people would be able to get that too.
