For those of you that got a referred to hiring department, are you licensed yet or have an NCLEX date already? Im curious what they are looking for. I graduate in December and from out of state but taking my boards in California. 

I am also graduating in December, no license yet. I think referred to hiring department means your application is just forwarded to the units for further evaluation. It’s still hard to say what they’re looking for. Best of luck!

I have my BSN and passed the NCLEX recently. I applied for the last application in October and did not get referred but I did this time. I know many people from my class who were hired in October before passing the NCLEX. From what I've heard, they like when people had an internship in your specialty, related volunteer/work experience, or just some kind of effort (certifications) to show you're really interested in your chosen specialty. Some people I know had externships at UCSD but not all.

This is great insight! Personally I didn’t know anyone who has applied before. I’m from the Bay Area. I’ll be graduating with my BSN in December. Im interested in NICU so I took a STABLE class and got certified. I also am precepting in NICU for my capstone class. Before going to nursing school I worked in healthcare field for about 5 years, 3 of those being in the hospital setting. I hope this helps for next round for anyone who wasn’t referred

Still waiting! There were only 30 new grad spots, so I don't expect much

I have heard that they will most likely be reaching out to conduct interviews around early January...could be before then, but just depends :) hope this helps!

Hi all! 

I'm late to this post but I applied to the Surg/Onc, BMT, and surgical ICU. Has anyone heard anything or do we think we'll hear back beginning Dec 1?
