University of California, Davis (UC Davis) Fall 2024

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the application process and status updates for a New Grad RN program at UC Davis Health, specifically focusing on reference checks, interview experiences, and offers for different units like Operation Room (OR). Members are sharing their experiences with reference requests, discussing the possibility of being considered for future cohorts, and seeking advice on starting inpatient versus outpatient roles. Additionally, successful applicants are sharing information about onboarding processes and previous experience in the OR.

I'd like to start a thread to keep updated with everyone's timeline from "Application Received" to "Hired" or anything in between. I didn't see a post and wanted to start one.

I'll have a preceptorship in July but haven't been placed yet! I'm currently in my last semester.

I'm confused. I thought UCD places candidates based on their preceptorship. How can they place you if you don't have preceptorship yet??🤔

These programs can do what they want- it's a free for all for leadership that runs them. They can say one thing but unfortunately since union not involved or not ran by internal policies, once it's open to the public they can place whomever. It sucks.

Yeah the truth is most hospitals do prefer a preceptorship with them which is unfortunate
