Interview with the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services

[sashimi]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone here has ever interviewed for RN positions at LA county hospitals (i.e. Olive-View, Harbor-UCLA, LAC+USC, Rancho Los Amigos). I'm not sure what to expect, and I would really appreciate a little guidance. Is it just an oral interview, or is there a written exam involved? What should I bring to the interview? Also, what should I do to prepare?

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi Aehtela,

I have just been called for an interview at Olive View! i am sooo nervous! this would be my first!

I asked what unit and all I got was that it was for the Relief Nurse position..

Question... What does it mean to be a Relief Nurse? What's the difference between a Relief Nurse and RNI position? The job description looks similar..

Any tips for the interview?

Please help.. any info would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello eedo_rn,

Congratulations on your interview at Olive View! The simplest way to describe the difference between RN I vs. Relief Nurse is: RN I is a full-time position, while Relief Nurse is per-diem. I'm unable to specify tips b/c of the waiver form I signed. But just go in there confident & take a deep breath! You got this! :)

thanks for the quick reply! i was scouring the net for an answer. did u accept the job? do they at least give guaranteed hours or would this be like an on-call basis? will u be assigned in whatever units need you?

sorry for all the questions. hope u can reply when u get a chance.

Thanks again!

Hi Sashimi!

I will have my civil service interview soon and I was wondering how did your interview go? Do you have any additional tips to share? What band did you get and were you offered a position yet?

Thanks for your help!

Hi LnMaR!

Sorry, I got this message a little late, as I have not been on All Nurses lately, but the interview went well. I hope that your interview went well too!
