Hi I was wondering if anybody had any insight on the Clinical Nurse I postings that UCI has released so far? I applied to 3—med surg, neuroscience stepdown, and trauma neuro, but I was wondering if they will post any more? And does anyone have any information on the actual residency and how it works? I know you get put in automatically if you get hired but any more info would be appreciated!

To my knowledge, UCI requires you to have your license before applying! Some hospitals do not require you to have your License when applying!

Hi! Thank you for your reply. You're right. I just looked at the required qualifications listed on a Clinical Nurse position I:

• Current California RN license or Interim Permit by time of hire

• All external candidates must have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Since I would be an external candidate, I'd have to wait until I graduate in December to apply then, right? I think I would just have to have my NCLEX scheduled and pass before hire date IF they were to hire me. Just want to make sure I interpreted this correctly!

Hi there, I applied to a couple job openings and most of mine say under review. I applied about >5 weeks ago. Has anyone else had any luck with interviews. I call but they tell me to just check the status online. Thank you in advance 🙂

No luck with interviews either. Been under review for a while, I just keep applying when I see new Clinical Nurse 1 positions open.

Hello, 

Did any of y'all have luck in getting interviews? I've been looking for clinical nurse I positions and all of them had said that they require 1 year experience minimum. Any advice on finding new grad positions?
