   YAY! Congrats! The health screen isn't bad, it's just a 2-step TB screen and touching your toes, etc. I wouldn't stress about it at all. We'll probably see each other soon then. I'm back on days right now and will be rotating to nights in Nove...

   I'm not sure how TalentPlus works so I can't really respond to that question. I know that it's used as a screening tool, but usually they put you through Talentplus first, then the recruiter interview, then the mgr interview. At least that's how it...

   No, because my application status still says "In Review" and I've been working since August.. Congrats on having the TalentPlus done with. That was the weirdest phone interview I've ever had.

   Fingers crossed for you! I think I'll be rotating between days and nights. One of the other new grads was recently told that she'd be rotating so I assume all of us will be too.

   Unfortunately I can't answer this question. I was hired as a New Grad RN and all the New Grads started at the same hourly rate. I'm assuming you're an experienced nurse (but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), so you're going to have to talk wit...

   Not sure what they mean by "rotating" because I was told that once we were off orientation the unit director (Valerie) would determine where the openings were and would place us. She did say that we could state a preference, but she couldn't guarant...

   It's Janbug. :) I like the unit that I'm working on. There are 3 other new grads that were also hired (including me, a total of 4) so we're basically going through orientation together. So far most of the people on the unit have been very helpful a...

   Okay so I just called Mandi at SM-UCLA HR. If you were instructed to show up on Monday for hospital orientation at SM-UCLA: Valet park your car and we'll be receiving our parking passes and ID badges later that day once we meet with parking, secur...

    Re: Scrubs Sheri said that we're given 3 sets. Anyone know if that includes the scrub jacket? I get the feeling that we'll have to pay extra for that one. I spoke with my unit director (3 Tower - Geriatric Stepdown) a few days ago and she said b...

    I have not heard back from my unit director yet. I will be calling her tomorrow and hopefully she'll be able to give me a definite date. When I went to HR last week, I was told the same thing you were.. that everyone except for ICU/CCU would be sta...

    WHOA. August 2nd? I feel so... unprepared. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going back to HR/Employee Health on Thursday so I'll try to get more info (if possible).

    I would go ahead and make the appointment with the health center. That's probably the first step in the process and you'll probably get more information about the rest of the process afterwards. Congrats! :)

    Got offered a position in the Geriatric Stepdown unit at SM-UCLA last Friday. I said yes(!!!!) and started my paperwork with HR yesterday.
