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

Hey everyone I am a new grad and I'm very interested in applying for LAC+USC. ive checked the website but I'm having trouble finding any information. Could you please tell me what the application and hiring process was like? Also does anyone know when they'll be hiring more new grads? Thanks!

Hi, to everyone who is in the process of getting hired right now, did you all apply last year or to this recent RNI position that was posted in May? Thanks.

Thank you for your help!

I am confused as to the documents we need to upload it says to attach any of the following: verification of experience letter, resume, transcripts, diplomas, certificates, licenses, dd214/documentation showing character of discharge, DMV record, other documents.

Did you all upload all of these documents?

Hi all! I'm new to this board and was SOOO happy when I found it. I've been trying to figure out how to apply to LAC+USC but haven't been very successful. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction! My fiancé is a resident there and LOVES it. He sees all kinds of stuff so I know it'll be a good learning experience. Looking forward to hearing from anyone about how to get this county ball rolling!!

I uploaded those that I have, but I also included recommendation letters and scans of my certificates, awards, etc. For those that doesn't have a category, I just placed it under "other."

coast2coast, So....I took the written exam. Not feeling that great about it. The three minutes seemed to go by really quickly! Have you taken it yet?

Hey, Sophia432! Took it a little while ago and yes, those three minutes were not enough!:nailbiting: :blackeye: :dead:

It could go either way, because I feel like the personality ones are the bulk of the assessment. Let's hope we can be a match for county! :nurse:

The hiring process takes several months. Be patient:)

I agree. it took me roughly like 7/8 months since I applied to get a job offer..and i heart that this time frame was very fast..for others it can take over a year...just make sure its not the only place you apply too because i heard its hard to land a job there. so have back ups!

Here's my timeline on how long it took for me to get hired:

Applied August 2012

Civil Service Exam March 2013

Called in for Interview with managers: May 10th & 14th 2013 (3 interviews, total)

May 23rd 2013 offered position in ER

Livescan completed May 31st

Health Clearance complete June 5th

Start date: July 1st.

I did not wait around for county to contact me; I had forgot all about applying in fact. I took a job at a SNF after I graduated until I could find a hospital job. I found a hospital job at a small community hospital which still hires ADN's, and then I was contacted by county. I've only been working in a hospital for 6 months and I love where I work but I can't let this opportunity pass me by!!! For all those trying to get in, be patient but don't focus only on county, keep your options open but definitely follow up. When I applied, I didn't have any experienced referenced on my application, they called me based on being a new grad.

Thanks for the information!! And congrats on finally getting the job. I have my dream job right now. I work as an RN in an ED. However I want to move back to CA and I'm willing to wait. I just don't know where to apply?? Where can I do that??

Thanks again and congrats!! My fiancé is a resident there and LOVES IT!!
