dreyrn,

As far as I know UCI has hired everyone that they are going to hire for med/surg and ob at this time. If it doesn't happen this time keep trying and get as many certifications and related experience while you job hunt so you can to keep strengthening your resume.

For those that got hired, did they say what the starting salary would be? And if it would be str8 pay or time and a half. The benefits look great at UCI!

Congrats everyone..I am a new grad but an ADN grad and applied for any job available to get my foot in the door. I was hired as a cna on oncology. ARe any of the new hires ADN or are all of you BSN? I have a bachelors degree and am currently registered for an RN-MSN program. I am hoping to transition into an RN Position..

Does anyone know if there's summer new grad rn program? I've been looking on their website but I couldn't find any information.

BTW, congrats to all those who've been selected to join the program. Hope you guys do great!

dylansmom7 - I have a BSN. Are you working at UCI or somewhere else? It is really hard to get a job right now so try and get as much related experience (cna is good) and certifications related to your area of interest as possible. Make use of your connections at your current job and make sure they know that you are interested in an RN position. Good luck and don't give up even if it takes a while.

nursenursingnursed - They post new grad positions on an ongoing basis so keep checking the website and look for "Clinical Nurse 1" positions.

did anyone on here get hired for the perinatal department? It sounds like we are the last unit to start. I have orientation on the 12th.

RNnicu42,

Yes, I was hired in perinatal and so were two other new grads that I know of (see earlier pages of this post). We have orientation on the 12th. I thought they were only hiring 3 so I guess they decided to hire more. Congrats! and I'll see you at orientation.

nursenursingnursed:

I heard that they are supposed to have a new grad program opening in July. If I were you, I would check everyday in June and everyday in July. And occasionally call HR to speak with an RN recruiter to find out if they know of any specific start date.
