This week. She said sometimes it takes them a while depending on how busy they are. Also did they mention anything to you about how long the orientation process is?

I think they said like 12 weeks

I just got an invite to interview for next Thursday! How did everyone respond? It doesn't really prompt you, it just tells you. 

Edit: Nevermind I calmed down and just sent a confirmation email LOL

I have no idea it didn't say. I did select Cardiac Telemetry, Progressive Care, and ICU as my first, second, and third choice. It's either of those, I'll find out the day of I guess!

Hello, congrats on the interview! Quick question, did you call the recruitment office before H-UCLA followed up on your application via email to schedule the interview?

Sad news! HUCLA just canceled my interview. They said that all LA County DHS hospitals are now in a hiring freeze. Did others get an email?

Oh no! I wonder if it also affects everyone who has interviewed the past 2 weeks 😭

Oh no that's horrible! 
I think that's each happened last month. People went in for interviews and then were all told that there was a hiring freeze. Your messages gave us hope the freeze was over. I'm sorry for your disappointment.
