UC San Diego Emergency Department Nursing Certificate

Specialties Emergency

Published

I'm looking at taking UC San Diego's Emergency Dept. Nursing Certification program. Has anyone taken these classes? Did it help you get a job in the ER?

I start at a SICU/TICU on Monday as a new grad even though ED is what I feel my true calling is. I’m looking into taking the certificate program after I get a year of experience and transfer to the UCSD ED. Thank you so much for your story! It gives me a lot to think about especially since a new grad ED position JUST opened up at UCSD!

Wow! I just saw this, wish I would have seen it earlier. I just interviewed for an ED job and this would have been real beneficial! I'm going to apply now! Thank You for posting this!

Thank you so much pacoUSA for all the updates.. it was really helpful.. I am also looking to do this course but I am newly licensed RN and I donot have any acute experience. Also I graduated 4 years ago. I was wondering do I need to be experienced nurse to pursue this course? Any comment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

No, you do not need to be experienced. You can use it as 30 credits of CE as well!
