UCI Medical Center New Grad Program Summer '09

katie33 · Aug 6, 2011

I am from Southern California, but a bit north from UC Irvine. My interview is on Monday at 4:30. I guess no one wants to shed light about their UCI interview experiences so I wish us all three some luck!! When are your interviews?

Cool, you're pretty close by. I'm from the Bay Area. I'm hoping they ask behavioral questions since those are what I've been preparing. Mine is on Monday at 11am. Funny because that wasn't in the time frame they indicated, but it's all good. Good luck to us!

how did things go for everyone? =D I really don't know what to expect since they're interviewing many people...

Interview went well! Such a beautiful hospital, and both the manager and supervisor are so nice. Do you know exactly how many they are interviewing? I asked and they are only hiring 4, so its a slim chance for all of us! Fingers crossed.

Hello Everybody,

I am Prashant infusion RN in clinic in Santa Monica part time, I am also foreign nurse from India, I want to know that which hospitals are offering new grad RN program for foreign nurses in California, I try Cedar-Sinai Hospital but they told me that only nursing students who graduate from community college in US can apply for this new grad RN program.

Please help me so that I can get the full time job to survive in LA,

Sincerely,

Prashant

Just wanted to post I had an interview too. The interview felt so long. I think they interviewed about 50 people for four positions. I don't know if I said or did what it took to be chosen. Good luck to everyone.

HEY EVERYONE!!!! I JUST GOT A CALL AND ACCEPTED THE POSITION!!! I am so gracious at this moment! I hope the both of you also get calls within the next few days. I was interviewed on the first day possible, so they definitely aren't done calling yet. Good luck to you!! Let me know what the verdict is :)
