Loma Linda New Grad Oct. 2021 Cohort

[Ready4RN2021, BSN, RN]

Hello!

I noticed there was no existing forum for the Graduate Nurse Oct. 2021 cohort at LLUMC, so I thought I would create one for those of us who applied!! Based on the forum from last year’s Oct. cohort, it appears that interviews started rolling out after July 11th. So let’s see if that is the case this time around! Good luck!! ?

Anyone received a phone call or update on their online submission status?? I saw that interviews are only supposed to take place for a few more weeks and I’m starting to get nervous since I haven’t received anything in call or email form. ?

I have not heard anything so far. Anyone?

[Ready4RN2021, BSN, RN]

I have not had any communication from Loma Linda University either @filloryguy33. A friend of mine who spoke to several hiring managers at LLUH said they were conducting interviews as far back as two weeks ago. I think applying before being licensed in CA negatively impacted my chances of being a potential candidate. At this point, my hopes are not too high considering how competitive LLUH is for their nurse residency. ?

Oh wow at least I will have that closure. Thanks @Ready4RN2021 for the update!

This is interesting because I have spoke to a few students and they are also all in the dark with the RN Residency program at LLUMC. If y’all don’t mind me asking, which specialty did y’all emphasize was your primary choice? I chose periop services. Goodluck to you all!! ? @Ready4RN2021 @filloryguy33

Thanks @Jaylakers1RNBSN I selected Surgical ICU as my primary choice. When I first called HR, the lady on the phone informed me that “everyone wants ICU” meaning a substantial amount of applications were geared towards the ICU floors. I have to say that getting to start a new grad program in a brand new hospital facility would be very nice! Good luck to you as well ?

I think they are still conducting interviews. I received an email today for an interview tomorrow!

[Ready4RN2021, BSN, RN]

Very encouraging! @Christiane Dizon May I ask what unit you applied to? Also were you licensed in CA before submitting your application? 

[Christiane Dizon]

I applied for the SICU, but I am interviewing for the Surgical Unit. I was licensed in CA before submitting my application. 

[Ready4RN2021, BSN, RN]

You are interviewing for the Medical-Surgical unit? @Christiane Dizon Also, did you notice any change to your application status? Like “Application Under Review” changing to “Application Under Recruiter Review” on your jobs portal? Thanks for your input by the way!  ?

Oh that’s great news! Let us know how the interview goes!! Thank you for the update. ?
