Harbor UCLA “Relief RN” New Grad

[Mary2456, RN]

Hello, everyone can anyone explain what this title means. I'm set to start at UCLA at as a new grad soon. At the interview I was told by the manager that all new grads are hired with this title but, I would be working at least my 3 days a week, no benefits. Now that I'm completing the final forms it says on the paperwork that I will be hired "partime/ temporary" Anyone know what it's like starting as a new grad ?

Every place is different, you should ask clarifying questions to your recruiter and/or onboarding specialist. 

In general, some hospitals only consider 1.00 FTE as full time, an employee working 36 hours per week is typically coded as a 0.96 FTE employee, which may be called part time (but full time hours). 

Also, some hospitals will start all new grads as temporary employees with no benefits until a FT spot opens up and they slide them into it. Again these are questions best answered by your recruiter. Best of luck!
