UCSD New Grad

Published

Hey guys, I've applied for a few new grad positions with UCSD Health this past week and was just wondering if anyone else has been also (good luck to you all)! Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear anything back?

The applications mentioned they were for the July 2019 program that had start dates throughout July & August.

@NurseyTings I am not internal. I did 2 preceptorships at UCSD, but not on the unit I was interviewing for. Didn't have any connects! They said they had over 200 applicants for 2 openings and interviewed 7 of us. It was a group interview. Still waiting to hear back, but it was super competitive as a few others did externships on that unit and one other was an internal. Trying to stay positive!

That is amazing-congrats on interviewing you should be super proud of yourself. My status never changed from referred to hiring department. Wishing you the best!?

The panel said they would get back to us 2 weeks ago, but haven't. Received an email from the panel last week on July 24th and it said they are still making decisions and would be getting back to us this week (July 29-August 2), but still no word from them! I already accepted another offer at a different hospital in the ICU, so I don't believe I'd be taking it anyways, but still weird they haven't decided yet when the job starts August 19th.

Hello everyone! Just wondering if anyone has applied to the Surg/Onc PCU position for Aug/Sept. My application status changed to "Referred to Hiring Department" over a week ago.. starting to get antsy! Anyone know what the timeline is like after the status change? Or the likelihood of actually getting an interview?
