Just thought I'd start a thread for those of us hoping to get into CHOC in Feb. Apps were post on the 15th. What did everyone apply for? Are you local or out of the area? Any connections with CHOC? Let's hope we all get hired =)
I'm coming from out of state after graduation in Dec. I'm originally from Sacramento and really want to live in So Cal for a few years and love choc. I love the area it is in (hello, 5 min from Disneyland!) I am already PALS certified and have a previous degree in healthcare administration, so I'm hoping that will help with getting a call. I put oncology as my first and med/sug as my second. I didn't get the chance to speak with HR regarding # of positions, but hopefully those areas are in need! Good luck to everyone applying!!
I got a rejection email last time but I got a call last week for an interview with the NICU for the spring. I have a BSN and am from the Southern CA area so that may have helped...I also know someone who works in there in the NICU that I mentioned on my application so that probably helped as well. Don't wanna get my hopes up though since CHOC is really hard to get into. It's going on almost a year since I got my license...and 6 months since I graduated.
SNjacks, I don't know if your friend had his/her hem/onc interview yet, but if not, you might want to tell him/her that it's only a preliminary interview! I interviewed for the hem/onc unit yesterday, and they said that they will call people back in two to four weeks and let them know if they get a second interview or not. It would have been nice to have been told this information when they called to schedule the interview.
I'm not sure if she's aware of that minor detail (haha) but I'll try to let her know! I think her interview is actually gonna be today so might not be able to catch her before then. Thanks for the updates though. I hope you get that second interview!!
I interviewed for NICU on Thursday and they said they should be notifying everyone by Monday! Talk about a quick turnaround. Did anyone else interview for NICU? In any case, good luck to everyone who interviewed!

Oh and she is from San Diego so I don't think relocation is a factor
