Loma Linda University Medical Center New Grad 2011

Published

Has anyone applied for Loma Linda's new grad program? I heard its starting next month but I have no idea if they even started interviewing people. I keep calling but no one is giving me an answer.

I called them asked how to do the personal statement and the lady told me that our personal statement is our top 3 units that we selected.

Ooh, thanks for the info! That makes me feel better, I didn't want to be missing any important documents! They shouldn't make that so confusing.

Yeah no problem. I was expecting it to be yet another essay! Whew! So did you guys do your preceptorships in peds? Are you from the LA area? What did you put as your top 3 units? So many questions, I know. Just curious :) I did my preceptorship in adult cardiac critical care but I love peds too. I put 1) acute care 2) cardiac/ organ transplant 3) intermediate icu. I live in norcal obviously lol. Good luck everyone!!

I graduate on Monday woohoo!

Well HR said for the recommendation letters you can scan a copy and email it to the address listed. For the BLS card, HR said that if you listed it down on the certifications part of the application, that should be enough. I would scan a copy and send it by email just in case though, at least that is what I am doing.

I called HR to make sure my documents were emailed and received. The RN Recruiter said that we'd know in a couple of weeks because there were about 500+ people that applied and she has to go through each one to see which ones meet the requirements. And then she said that she'd send about 50 applicants to each unit manager and then go from there...so good luck everyone!
