UCSF hasn’t updated their RN training program page yet. Applications are rumored to be opening sometime in the next month or two. We can all keep eachother updated. What units are you all applying to?

Even as a nursing student if there’s a certain area you are interested in obtaining your certifications is always a great idea. This posting is available for people who have graduated within the past year so keep that in mind when applying and whether or not you have your certifications. It most certainly doesn’t disqualify you, but they do like people who take the initiative to get skilled and educated in that area (ACLS, NRP, STABLE, PALS etc) my entire cohort got tons of certifications prior our last semester

Wow that's amazing! Good for you!

Hello everyone!

How did you upload your cover letters? Same file with the resume or separately? It is so confusing. I did as one file and now torturing myself with doubts if I did it wrong.

Were you able to successfully upload your resume and cover letter? I kept having to reattach after uploading.

I did mine under my activities that way it is available for all applications but that might be wrong, also that’s where I uploaded my transcript/letters of rec

I had no issue uploading the file. My only concern is with the location of where it should be kept (I mean cover letter)

I was thinking to do that as well but I applied to 2 different units. Since I tailored my cover letter for each unit how do I make it attached to each application separately. Idk, I feel confused. I wish they had more instructions regarding this.

Are we allowed to submit letters of rec?

I've noticed that when I click to upload a resume, the portal to link a resume from different sources says "Upload a Resume/CV" up top. I take "CV" (curriculum vitae) to mean more in-depth than a resume...although that's not exactly the delineation between resume vs. CV. In any case, I've included my cover letter (tailored to each unit) & my resume as one PDF doc. in the resume section of each app.

Who knows what they're hoping for exactly! I'm sure it'll be fine either as a separate attachment or within the resume section in the app.

I agree with you on that. If they would be very picky on how and where to upload resumes and cover letter I assume they would state it somewhere. Some programs do specify that they it all as 1 file.

How did you guys address your cover letter?

Does anyone know the contact email for UCSF? I know they haven't updated their website since 2012 and am wondering if anyone has had success reaching HR.

Dear UCSF,
