on a facebook group for socal new grads, I saw someone who was a part of the new grad residency for hollywood from an older cohort say they left after 8 months because they kept floating them back and forth between urgent care and tele while still trying to finish up the residency program. The things I've been hearing are that you learn alot there but it is hard work. That it's hard to reach MDs to put in orders and things like that. I also just recently found out that Culver City doesn't have parking too. I also saw another comment saying the education days were 12 hours long.

I would check out that group on facebook!

I have seen it. I was hoping someone else could chime in on their experience. I even went to an older thread for this hospital and asked if anybody who accepted positions could give feedback but didn't receive a reply. I guess it doesnt sound terrible. I am not expecting a magnet level place but I am sure we would all hope for the culture to be decent and supportive to new grads.  

 

I also just received a call from a 657 number about culver city medsurg/tele about the residency so if anybody is waiting they seem to be making phone calls.

By no parking do you mean no free parking for staff? I know some hospitals make staff pay to park there. Or no employee parking lot and the staff shares one lot with patients?

I think they don't have any onsite parking at all. On their website, it says there are 6 paid parking lots available around the hospital. I've never been here before but it sounds like they don't have parking. I checked Google maps and it shows that there's a parking garage across the street though?

I did get a phone call last week and fill out that survey link I picked med surge for Hollywood 

Anyone knows which is better Culver City or Hollywood?

Nice goodlucky. I picked ICU but I am intimidated by it now ahah. I think culver city is a nice hospital because I believe it is a bigger facility. I chose Hollywood because it was the only one offering ICU

I got a call from the recruiter last week and filled out a questionnaire online for tele at Culver City. She said that interviews with the units over zoom would be this week. I haven't heard anything since the questionnaire. Has anyone else heard from Culver City regarding interviews?

No I haven't heard anything yet. The recruiter told me last week that the unit manager will look over the questionnaires and resumes today.

They will look at resume and select if they want to interview that person what recruiter told me.

I just spoke to the recruiter too she said to have the questionnaire filled out by tomorrow morning and that if selected the virtual interviews would take place this Thursday and Friday. If we're selected for final interviews it'll be 08/20. This is for acute rehab. I double checked with her, only street parking is available for staff you have to get on a waitlist for the parking garage that is offsite and requires a shuttle ride to the hospital.

they told me the same thing for step-down. virtual interviews this week, in person panel interview on 8/20, and hopefully offers by the last week of August if selected. fingers crossed we all hear back soon!! 🤞

okay that make sense because I was super confused on parking. it seems like even for ER entrance they only have valet parking. I noticed a Chase bank next door with a big paid public parking lot too. Even though this sounds like a hassle, I'm hoping good news for this residency program!!

IDK about culver city but I read online that hollywood has employee parking which is nice. 

On a side note, how is everybody viewing this residency program? I know I cant expect much because it seems like a smaller hospital but are we looking at this opportunity as just a way in to getting some decent experience? the market right now is so crazy I cant imagine turning down this potential offer because it might be a further commute than someone wanted or the fact that its not a big nice hospital.  From what I have seen online the residency program here is pretty decent.

They should be reviewing today!! Hopefully by later today/ tomorrow. Good luck to us!
