CHLA New Grad Program March 2013 - Page 21

Letter that I wasn't selected for interview. .......RECEIVED.....

I asked the recruiters about some numbers, I hope it helps! About 700 applied to the program in general. 200 of those applied to the PICU (the unit I applied to), they interviewed 20 for the PICU, and are accepting 4-6 in the PICU. Sorry, I don't know anything about other units!

That's a bummer! Just keep trying! And thanks so much for the update, has anyone else heard anything?

Congrats on getting an interview for picu then!! That's a huge accomplishment those odds weren't very good but you did it!!

i can't believe it but i received a phone call last night at 5pm to schedule an interview. i totally gave up since i hadn't heard anything on the 31st, but i guess they're still calling people! my first choice was 6W general surgery and my second was hematology/oncology. i'm kinda surprised i even got called cuz i will only have an adn but i do have a bs in something else.

Wow, talk about down to the wire and what a wonderful surprise for you...congratulations! I also have my ADN and a B.A. in something else too Best of luck to you!

Wow that is so awesome!! Congrats! Btw do people wear heels to their interviews? I always feel so weird wearing heels/wedges in a hospital haha

@houseblew: how do you feel your interview went? did you happen to get the names of the nurse managers interviewing? I blanked and totally did not remember their information!! Good Luck!

@lovinglife45: Ugh, I have no idea how my interview went, it felt alright, but I also think they were nice to everyone. There are a few things I wish I had said, but forgot to say. I'm just not sure. What unit did you interview for? And as far as names.... I was trying to remember them, even though I have no ability to remember names, so one had a name tag and her name was cindy, but the other had her name tag turned around, so I have NO IDEA! And the third was a nursing student, so I don't think she counts. How did yours go?
