  1. UCLA is very strict on overtime. But every November through mid January administration opens up overtime for all RNs at UCLA. You can work as much overtime as you want during this period. They also give extra shift bonus of $300 of every overtime shi...
  2. UCLA Hiring Process

    Thanks for the responses. I did get the job offer 3 weeks after the interview. I found out my director who interviewed me was playing games lol. The director called me an hour after my interview and said I'm golden and she called HR to give me a job ...
  3. UCLA Hiring Process

    For those of you that got hired by UCLA as an experienced RN. How long did it take for them to contact you with the official job offer after completing the 5 reference Skill Survey? Is the Skill Survey reference check the final step before the offici...
  4. Current hourly wage LA area

    Wow Thanks. I thought UCLA did 8 hr shifts because the pay chart posted showed $3 differential for evening and $6 for nights. So when you clock in at 6:45 pm your differential is $3 and when the clock strikes midnight your differential jumps to $6? T...
  5. Current hourly wage LA area

    Wow it must be competitive to get into UCLA. According to their pay chart 5 yrs experience RN II is $53. That sounds good to me. But I don't like 8 hr shifts í ½í¸. Are Resource per diem RNs at UCLA different from each other or do they all have to b...
  6. Current hourly wage LA area

    How many beds does the hospital have that gave you the new grad position at $44/hr? Is that Kaiser? That sounds high. I thought L.A hospitals starts at $39/hr.
  7. New Grad Nurse! Help!!

    What city is this giving you 7 patients in Med Surg. I started as a new grad with 7 patients fresh off orientation which wasn't safe at all. I thought that's how Texas rolls with no union. I was naive and new to the profession and didn't know how muc...
  8. New Grad Pay in San Antonio

    What part of TX are you from? Everything you said is true. BUT... now that I'm living and working in TX I realize how dirt cheap it is to live here compared to Cali. So even if the pay is low, it is still comfortable relative to the cost of living he...
  9. Filipino nurses

    If you are coming from the Philippines then disregard everything I said about not having experience. I was referring to those who were educated here in the states. They may have more requirements for international nurses.
  10. Filipino nurses

    Just stay away from "low acuity" units like obgyn, med surg, orthopedics, etc. 6-7 patients per nurse is not uncommon on those units.
  11. Pay Rate

    Do L.A hospitals use a lot of travelers? I'm currently a med surg nurse in Texas. I'm planning on becoming a med surg/tele traveler in two years with two years experience and want to work at a hospital in L.A/Burbank area. I plan on chasing my music ...
  12. Filipino nurses

    I work at Methodist. If you have a license and a pulse, you will get hired at Baptist or Methodist. Experience not needed. But they do work you like a slave and it is San Antonio. That is why they have a hard time retaining nurses.
  13. Reverification of Educational Background

    You're right. I talked to HR about it. It's to make sure they have everything on file if they don't already or lost it.
  14. So I just had my yearly evaluation and I had a good evaluation. It was my first evaluation after being on the job for 6 months. At the end of my evaluation my manager made me sign a document allowing my employer to do a reverification of my education...
  15. Filipino nurses

    I'm an american born Filipino nurse working at a San Antonio hospital. I'm one of a dozen Filipino RNs in the entire hospital. The reputation of Filipino nurses will precede you even in Texas. I remember having a rough day during my new grad orientat...
