UCLA Summer Externship

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi everyone!

I'm currently finishing up my second semester of nursing school at the University of Arizona and I'm looking into applying for the UCLA summer externship for next summer (2015). By summer, I'll have completed 3 semesters and only have 1 more semester left in my program. I'm nervous about how competitive the program is and I was wondering if someone could give me a little more information.

What would you recommend to include in my cover letter and resume? I have very minimal volunteer hours (maybe 100 hrs) and don't have any working experience in nursing, but I have completed 3 rotations of clinicals and I am CNA certified. My grades are pretty average (I might be hard on myself, but so far have 3 A's and 1 B, from nursing school. My in-progress grades are 1 A and 1 B, and my pre req gpa is about a 3.5-3.6).

Thanks for your help in advance!

I am interested in applying to UCLA's Summer Externship as well. My BSN program is on a quarter system and is actually less than 2 years but I think by June we would be wrapping up our first/junior year. We would have completed a couple of clinical rotations by then.

I am working on getting my LOR's right now and plan on revising my cover letter this week (I have no idea what they are looking for so I'm not quite sure what to include). I'm a CNA too and work as one.

Good luck! Oh, also are you submitting your transcripts?

Hi,

I am applying to the UCLA summer externship 2015. I'm on the process of waiting for them after I provided the reference lists. Does anyone know if they do the interview or not?

Thanks!
