LAC+USC interview new grad RN

Published

Hey guys, I have a question. I had an interview with LAC+USC and received a letter that I passed the oral exam. I read in the letter that they are going to contact me if positions open up. I am a new grad RN. Have you been in my situation? How long does it take until they call you? Do we have another interview after the oral interview or this is it? Please share your experience with me..thank you

any updates on those who started last Sept 4th??

Hi everyone!

I actually started working on Sept 17th (my original start date was Sept 4 but it got delayed). So I finished my second week of orientation. It's mainly didactic but we also go on the floor to orient. I already met my preceptor and have started working with her. Will work again this weekend and start doing patient care. I really like it so far. Congrats to all who got hired to county.

interview at LAC USC for medsurg this friday!!!!!! what should i expect??? any advice?!?!?!

Hi & Congrats.

I'm working now on a M/S floor @ LAC/USC. You'll interview w/ at least 2 managers. My interviewers were nice and the questions are similar to the civil interview. Questions can vary but I would know the mission/values of the hospital, be relaxed, maintain occasional eye contact....I think you'll be fine. Good Luck!

Not sure for Olive View. At LAC/USC, on the first day, I went to HR to sign paperwork & was given an orientation schedule. Now that I'm on the floor, I follow my preceptor's work schedule.

I did not have experience prior to hire. It took about a month to get a unit interview after getting the eligibility letter. I was offered the job a month later & it took another 2 months b4 I actually started working. It's a long process. In addition to calling also send your resume & eligibility letter. Put your units of preference on the letter. Good luck & hope you get something soon.
