LAC+USC interview new grad RN

U.S.A. California

Published

Hey guys, I have a question. I had an interview with LAC+USC and received a letter that I passed the oral exam. I read in the letter that they are going to contact me if positions open up. I am a new grad RN. Have you been in my situation? How long does it take until they call you? Do we have another interview after the oral interview or this is it? Please share your experience with me..thank you

I start my physical this Thursday and have been applying other places too with no luck so far but I'm still holding some hope for county.

What unit did you get hired onto? And when did you get hired?

Dang it took more than a month to clear your background? Looks like they're taking even longer for those who are being hired later.

no eligibility letter yet. sigh. I was really counting on this UCLA - Harbor for learning and experience. I however got contacted for RN Transition Program at Kaiser Downey LDRP. If I won't hear from them until next week I'm going to accept ldrp. :nurse:

I know they hired a bunch of people at the same time as me but I was getting worried since I know my background is clear but I'm glad to finally be on the next step

If I were you I'd take the Ldrp it's quite a process for county Congrats on the offer with kaiser

^ thank you! It's an unpaid preceptoship though.. Ironically, it's also funded by LA county. So.....:confused:

Hope you get your start date soon!

Congratulations on the preceptership! That is a tough call since it is unpaid, but the experience would probably be awesome. At my relief nurse interview yesterday, she looked up my RN I status and said that it was officially processed on October 3rd. Since you were the same date, I bet you were processed then too. I bet we get our letters this week! Are you hoping to work in a specific area?

To everyone else, WOW what a long process!! I think if you can afford to wait, County is such an awesome place to work and we would all learn so much by starting there. I hope you all get start dates soon!

@RNtriathalete yes! That is good news! I told them I wanted to work in peds but I'll pretty much take any position available hehe. Story of a new grad huh.

Specializes in CT ICU, Med Surg.
has anyone who has passed background and physical received information on start dates?

Still waiting over here. Background check and physical cleared since August 19th. Got hired back on July 26th for LAC+USC's SICU and still no sign of a starting, not even orientation... Im seriously contemplating on applying to other facilities bc the outlook doesnt look promising. Have you contacted them?

I haven't heard about a start date either.. I received background and health clearance 2nd week of August as well and am still waiting. I know October is the start of the new quarter, hope they don't wait until next quarter to start! That would mean January start date.. :confused:

:( I finish my physical on the 17th so doubt I'll start until January unless God will answer my prayer to start sooner... Good luck to us all keep us updated if anyone gets start dates
