   I know it sounds cliche, but my best advice is to be yourself. This was the first time in an interview that was really able to be confident, comfortable, and myself. I think in previous interviews I had been way too robotic. Everyone I interviewed wi...

   I was told that I would be starting on the 28th of feb. I got hired for PICU. As far as new grad paper work - I was told by the manager to call two different #'s - one for the physical and one to do new hire paperwork. I am so excited!!!

   Who are you all calling and asking for? When I called no one would give me any specific information about my app. What # specifically are you calling? Hope everyone takes a little break and enjoys the holidays. Thanks for being the supportive communi...

8. UCLA new RN residency program 2010

   onestepatatime... replied to newRNAllie's topic in California

   I read earlier on a thread that out of 1200 applicants only 200 got talent plus interviews. If there are 90 new grad positions that means those that got talent plus interviews have a 45% chance of getting a position. Sounds too good to be true but I ...

    @djp* - reading the older threads it sounded like those who applied from out of state had a different timeline but I have not heard anything like that this time around. You might want to look over those old threads to get an idea. Do not know if they...

    @ peters- yes it seems like NICU is one of the more competitive specialties. They even have a discovery health tv show dedicated to it now, maybe the rise in popularity stems from that? Really wishing the best for all of us, it's definitly tough out ...

    onestepatatime... replied to newRNAllie's topic in California

    If there are 80 spots and 200 talent plus-ers that is good odds. But I would imagine it still depends on what unit you applied to, unless they took that into consideration as well in picking who got a talent plus interview. I put NICU as my first cho...

    I emailed all of my supplemental documents as attachments. Did anyone get a confirmation that they were received that did the same, or do we just have to have faith that they got there alright. I am starting to wish I had called to make sure they wer...
