Published

Hello ALL!!

I am starting this thread to keep everyone informed as to the process at UCSF 2012 New Grad Training Program.

Good luck to everyone applying!

Hope we all hear some great news soon! :)

Did anyone attach a cover letter to their application? Also, for general work experience, did anyone put their clinical rotations as "work" ?

I am having some serious issues with this webpage.

As for this stuff:

What training program did you apply for? Transitional Care

What unit did you precept on? Neurotrauma ICU, CVICU, and a surgical unit

When did you graduate? May 2001 :\

Any RN experience already? Volunteering at a free clinic.

jenn3999 - I'm not putting my clinical rotations as work because unfortunately it isn't really work. So I made sure that the rotations I wanted to highlight were in my resume. Also, in the 'work' space I put down a preceptorship (which wasn't connected to my college, it was external) and all my volunteer experience.

I e-mailed HR and asked them about why two boxes were checked when I knew I checked only one and they said that the system does that when you go to view your submitted application because the system is "masking" the correct answer they were looking for. Kind of confusing.....

I applied for Intensive Care Nursery, PICU, and Peds Oncology

I precepted in a NICU

I graduated May 2012!

Hey guys so is there a questionnaire I fill out after submission of the application? I applied the day it opened but I didn't see anything and it didn't redirect me.

There was no extra questionnaire. There was a small survey at the end of application but that was all. Good luck!

tashacorinne, i noticed you said you graduated "may 2001." just wanted to let you know that the ucsf application said that applicants cannot have graduated "[color=#3c3c3c]earlier than may, 2011." that's a bummer for me too because i graduated may 2010 and still haven't found a nursing job.

Hey all,

Thanks to the person who started this thread. I am newly licensed and about to start my first RN job in St. Louis; I'll be on a pretty intense Acute Medicine (adults) floor at a major Top Ten hospital. Am glad I got this job, will do 10 weeks of training; however, I am obviously still set on CA like everyone else - my significant other is out there and due to the ******* economy and not being able to afford going to school out there, we've been apart for THREE years now. I got so excited when I saw that I could apply even with paid RN experience. I love Acute Medicine so I'm hoping to stay, although I was interested in a lot of training programs. I applied to almost everything except Peds - I don't think it will hurt your chances if you apply for more than a few. I honestly am open minded and am interested in a lot of things - so it's genuine. I wouldn't be scared to apply for a few; it's a rough economy and it shows you're covering your *** and you're not picky.

Hakuna Matata and good luck!

Good morning! :)

I also applied recently, and had some issues with an engineering position coming up when I clicked on the RN Training link. LOL. I opened a new tab and tried again, and it worked this time.

I thought it was interesting how it was a very brief application process, not at all like others that have needed much more information!

Good luck to all!

ETA: Poll Questions:

What training program did you apply for? Adult Acute Medical

What unit did you precept on? N/A

When did you graduate? This May

Any RN experience already? No

Hey guys, I'd like to upload a cover letter and I'm wondering if any of you have the contact information for the person who will be reading them. Otherwise I'm just going to go with the old standby "to whom it may concern". ; ) Thanks and good luck to everybody!
