Members are discussing the impact of a hiring freeze at UCSD on the new grad program, with conflicting information about whether it is affected or not. Some members report receiving notifications about the cancellation of the August 2025 cohort, while others remain hopeful and positive despite the uncertainty. There is also mention of schools being informed before candidates, adding to the confusion surrounding the situation.

I gave birth at Jacob's in 2020 and 2023, L&D does hire new grads! Some of my nurses had a new grad that would shadow them.
I am trying to keep all options open, but my heart has always been in hem/onc too. Last cohort they were hiring for my dream units surg.onc/medsurg onc and BMT.

Yess I know they hire I was just a volunteer recently in postpartum, at Jacob's for a few months & loved it! However, the nurse manager told me it depends if they are in need for nurses around that time. Hopefully both units will be hiring 🤞🏼
