Anybody?

Hi There,

I have been told that there is a "hiring hold" at LACUSC Med Center.

What kind of nursing do you want to do? That is the big question.

I graduated from Los Angeles County College of Nursing and Allied Health. We did 95% of our clinicals at LACUSC. After becoming licensed, I worked at LACUSC for two years. Overall, it was a great experience. It is an excellent place to train, what you see there in that patient population you will not see anywhere else.

hey! are you applying to their versant program? if so, what are your thoughts on the personal statement? talk to you soon!

Hey 200977,

I spoke to Nurse Recruitment at LACUSC re: their Open House on the 18th and they said that they are not hiring just accepting apps for the future. Double check.

If you are interested in Peds CHLA has an excellent New Grad Program.

Louise - Does LACUSC have a Versant Program? I did not know this.

my mistake, it's USC University hospital that has the versant program.

so LACUSC is out of commission, so to speak? yikes!

Thanks for following up on that. I called CHLA and their having an open house tomorrow. But I couldn't sign up because the open house is full.

do we have to attend the open house in order to apply to CHLA new grad program?

muffin7 · Apr 7, 2009

Louise-I don't think that they would limit their New Grad Program to just those who had signed up for the Open House. Call them and find out...Good Luck, its a great program!!!

Also, as far as CHLA is concerned if you are really interested you could always go to the Open House and see if you could get in.

How did youfind out about the Open House? Is it for New Grads/Magnet Program?

student200977 · Apr 7, 2009

I found out about the open house on their website. But when I called in to RSVP they said they were full, and to call back in a few months for the next open house.
