I too accepted an offer from 11 Long , their adult hem/onc/bmt unit!! Congrats and best of luck to everyone!! Did HR contact you or did you pursue them? I have yet to hear from them and I accepted the position a little over a week ago. I've worked for UCSF in the past and yes, the paperwork is a long process!

Congrats!! Housing is expensive in SF. I've been living here for 4 years. I am lucky that I live a couple blocks from parnassus but I'd recommend the following neighborhoods: inner sunset, cole valley, lower haight, duboce triangle, and nopa. If you want more info please let me know!

Hi!To those of you who got the positions, I am going into my senior year in a BSN program and I am wondering if you have any advice about ways to maximize my chances of getting hired next spring. I am feeling so stressed about doing as much as I can and Im wondering if there is anything you suggest??? Please help! And congratulations!

@Klcrook - congrats! ditto to what pkramer said. housing is expensive, myself been here since 2006 it has pretty much had a relatively steady climb, especially with the past 2 years thanks to the employees of tech companies living in the city and driving prices up and the lack of new housing being build :/

if you're looking at a studio downtown (pac heights, russian hill, nob hill, etc) youre looking at an average of around $1500-1900/month not including any kinds of ammenities like parking, etc.

As you move more towards the ocean, the prices start to get cheaper. Places such as the inner/outer Richmond you can get more for your money, with a 1 bedroom being ~1500/month at the upper range for a decent apartment by SF standards (which are probably considerably smaller than Colorado standards!). Parking is a bit better here too if you plan on bringing your car here. The sunset district, not including the immediate area around the UCSF campus, is considerably cheaper. Think around the $1100 range for prices in this area.

Anotherthing to consider is sun. The closer youmove to the ocean, the less sun you'll see. The sunset and outer Richmond tend to be the first parts of the city to receiveany fog that's laying wait offshore.

By the way parking @ UCSF can cost upwards 300/month if you park at the daily max rate 3 days a week during the daytime. The monthly parking passes at parnassus campus is ~$130/month, but from what I've heard there's a huge waitlist for employee parking. The only parking passes that are worth it are the night/weekend passes which are considerably cheaper.

If you want to plan on renting near the transit routes, the 6-Parnassus, N-Judah, and 43-Masonic all run to the hospital. There are also various shuttles throughout the city that run between certain parking lots UCSF uses for its employee parking and the different hospitals in the city (Parnassus, Mt. Zion, Laurel Heights, Mission Bay, etc)

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have any other questions!

Wow, nocturncal! You really went into depth! I'd also suggest looking across the bay to Oakland (Rockridge, Lake Merritt, Temescal, and Uptown areas are nice) or Berkeley. It's a bit cheaper over there and BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit aka subway) to Muni (SF bus system) is easy. Lots of folks commute that way. If you have any more questions, please ask!

On another note, has anyone heard from the training program coordinators? I have only heard from Occupational Health and have scheduled two appts with them and have a new employee HR session later this month. When should we hear more about the training program? Thanks!
