LAC+USC interview new grad RN

U.S.A. California

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

For those if you who have taken the written test, do you know when we will find out if we passed? Thank you in advance.

For those of us that took the exam before the June 7 deadline, we should get results two to three weeks from now. I called HR and that is what they told me

Specializes in none that i can think of right now.
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.

Hey I'm glad you got an offer and a start date on July 1st (that's when I start my new job hehe not for county though) I still get calls from the nursing recruiters about interviews and I keep rejected them but at the same time I want to keep my name on the list just for future references. Idk if I should still be doing that or just let it go and apply AGAIN when my one year is done?

This is my second time applying. I had been called to do the civil service exam (oral interview) before, but i was only on the list for 6 months. Shortly after that interview I got a job so I decided to stay in New York for at least a year.

Just be mindful that you'd have to go through the process again when your eligibility expires. It's not a matter of "keeping in touch," there IS a time limit. I got a call back when I decided to apply for posted positions again and the recruiter said they couldn't consider me because as of the day before that, I was no longer on the list...

Hi coast2coast,

Would you mind letting me know when you get the results of the written test? I'm hoping they might come earlier than HR said......Ill post when I receive mine as well.
