Loma Linda new grad RN Summer 2020

Published

Anyone apply to the RN new grad program at Loma Linda University medical center for this Summer?

I haven't seen any posts on here about it so was wondering if anyone has any information on if anything will be delayed due to the pandemic, or if anyone has heard anything back from them about their application.

Also what units did you guys apply to!?

Anyone know if there's a fb group for the new grad Summer 2020 cohort?

I haven't seen a FB group. We should totally make one!

I believe the official start date of the program is July 13th if I'm not mistaken. As to when we have to be on campus I have no idea, I haven't spoken with HR yet. just accepted the official offer. Im also relocating from Norcal

It seems like people are getting some sort of replies after the interview about acceptance or rejection. I have interviewed for 7300 cardiac acute care unit around the same time as everyone else, but still have not heard any updates except the standard emails that they sent out earlier. Are they still sending out offers and updating the people they interviewed on the progress?

My submission status still says: Application is under Recruiter Review – Updated: Mar 19, 2020

@okurilen From my understanding, tomorrow is the last day to receive an official offer via email. If you are unsure about your situation, I would call HR. They are friendly, and I'm sure they will let you know if you are on their list. Best of luck!

Hi everyone! CONGRATS to all who started this month! I am interviewing soon for the October cohort for cardiac ICU and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what they think helped them nail the interview and receive an offer? I really appreciate any help! Thank you!

I am in the same position and would like to know what type of training they provide in their ICU rotation. How is the program structured (classroom and clinical component, mentorship, program-end project)?

I couldn't find any information about their residency program on their website. I had an opportunity to interview for a different unit a while back and I didn't get any specifics on the residency program except that on the unit orientation would be around 5 weeks.

Any information is much appreciated from the people that are already in the program. I know a few people had to relocate. Was relocation away from home worth it? How are you liking the program and overall environment?

I had an interview with Cardiac ICU today and was a little bit alarmed by a few things that were mentioned about the program and the need of the hospital. They mentioned that they currently have a need for nurses on their unit, but once the new hospital is built, they may not need as many nurses. Therefore after working on their unit for several month you may be transferred to step-down unit or anywhere else where there is need.

It seems that there is a 2 year contract for the program. The program consists of 1 month of classroom (8-5 pm), and the second month is orientation on the unit (18 shifts). They may extend orientation a little bit if you are not meeting certain goals. Then you are on your own, but there are people who you can consult before you make any decisions.

I looked at other threads on allnurses.com, and it seems that a lot of hospitals do much lengthier orientation on the unit especially for new grads (at least 12 weeks is a standard). 18 shift would be enough on Tele and Step-Down, but I am not really sure about ICU.

Something to think about considering relocation and your future goals.

Hi guys. I was wondering if the commitment to Loma Linda University Medical Center is a 3 years commitment? I was trying to dig out the info but I wanted to be sure if I have to stay there for 3 years. TIA

Hi AkaNewlyRn,

I am a new grad going to join LLU next year 2021.

How has your experience been working for LLU now that you have been there some months.

Any tips you can share regarding what I should do to prepare myself for working as a new grad

Anything you wish you did different to prepare yourself before working

Your feedback would be valuable and greatly appreciated
