Hey everyone, I'll be applying too! They want you to scan and upload the letters. Later on in the hiring process, a confidential survey is sent out to I think 5 references of your choice.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi there! I used the UCLA Health System Human Resources contact information and addressed the letter to the nurse recruiter. The address can be found here:

Anyone else applying right now? What's the difference between a Word Document and MS Word Document? They want the resume in both formats...

I was wondering the same thing.. I uploaded the same format (MS Word) for both.

old versions of files (doc) can be opened in office 2007 with no problems, but the new files (docx) can’t be opened in the old versions of office (like office 2003) so make sure you save your resume and cover letter as .doc before uploading!

flee43 - did you address the letter to "nurse recruiter" or a specific person's name? if so, do you mind pming me the name? i would greatly appreciate it!

good luck everyone!

Don't put a specific name, I remember the nursing recruiter saying that a lot of people look at it and not just her.

I wasn't prompted to take the survey afterwards. Did anyone else have this problem?

Address it to "Nurse Recruitment".

I also decided to upload the same file for both resume uploads. I think that as long as the person on the other end is able to open it, it should be okay. But I agree, make sure to have it in .doc format (most compatible) vs .docx which non-Mac users will be unable to open.

@cocojnel - I sent you a PM and put down the main contact for the New Grad program but @xluescluesx also makes a good point that more than one person will be looking at it. I already put the name down but if you want, "Dear Nurse Recruiter" might be on the safe side. I figured that putting down a specific person wouldn't hurt. Hopefully that detail won't kill my cover letter!

@xluescluesx - My internet decided to die while uploading my documents so I didn't get a survey. Are you referring to the voluntary survey that is available when you create your profile that concerns race/ethnicity? Or did I miss something?

@flee43 - there is an assessment that it re-directs you to after you upload the docs. If you have applied to any position at UCLA in the past, you've probably already completed the survey - in which case, you won't have to do it again.

Flee, no it's not that one. I'm going to call the recruiter in the morning and ask her how to proceed and I'll update here. I was reading on last year's thread that about half the people didn't get prompted to take the survey due to a glitch that was fixed later. Either way, I'll post in the morning what she says.

Rebecca, I applied as a CNA a few months ago and had to take it. I wonder if that's why. Flee, what does it say under documents for you? Does it say All Documents Received?
