UCSF New Grad Program 2023 Questions

Updated:   Published

Hello all, 

I am at the last semester of the ABSN program at Samuel Merritt. I'm expecting to graduate in early Jan and plan to take the NCLEX early Feb and no later than late Feb. I would like to know the timeline for applying to UCSF's nursing new grad Spring program 2023. Any past experiences with UCSF to share will be greatly appreciated.

I have zero experience outside of nursing school. I even have previous jobs not related to healthcare on my resume to show that I carried employment. but...I am a retired Marine and Combat Veteran in both Iraq/ Afghanistan. So maybe the military experience helped

Thank you for your service! I am a veteran as well. I served 6 yrs as a combat medic in the army (I was not a line medic tho usually worked with CASH) I know how difficult it is sometimes to sell yourself without having much of healthcare related experience especially going thru covid era but having military experience is definitely unique and something that you can apply in many different life situations. Not everyone gets to have those kinds of unique experience in life. I am sure you will do just fine with the interview ? good luck!

OMG! My heart almost dropped. I just got a call from one of unit director from medsurg I interviewed with. WHEN I SAW THE CALL, I AUTOMATICALLY WENT OMG, THIS IS IT!

Then she thanked me for interviewing with their unit and officially notified me of rejection. However, she also let me know that there are other departments that were interested in me and wish If I want to move forward with them (She will forward my application to them). I said yes and thanked likewise for her time and attention. 

It was something that I was not aware of. I would actually expect someone giving me a call to let me know about offers but oh wow maybe they really liked me but did not have enough slots or etc who knows. 

But I am moving with other stepdown/ICU units now. We will see what happens soon :D. Please update us on your journeys if you can here too only if you feel comfortable sharing

For my people who interviewed with ICN: did any of y'all end up finishing that scenario/prioritizing question? I just wanna know how they expected us to finish that in a minute. I was able to choose 4 out of the 6 people but sadly I don't know if they're looking for to see how we think or that we're able to finish the whole question. If anyone has any clarity or insights lmk ? I was up until 4am thinking about it LOL
