I received notification that I was selected as a finalist on 7/22/15. I am a FNP. Last name starts with a V.

Anyone have any info? I am looking to apply for Fall 2013 for their FNP program.

I currently work on a mother/baby unit and I have no kids! Not having kids does not hinder my ability to provide care to my patients. I also get told I look young too!

I am feeling the exact same way! I just started the first semester of the FNP program and not 100% sure I would like to do this. I am also working and trying to complete the post masters FNP in 1 year. I am confused, but glad to know I am not the only feeling this way.

I worked full time while going to school for my MSN (almost done). I will start the FNP program in August and will work part time, but I have a feeling I will eventually go per-diem because I will be required to attend clinical a minimum of 3 days per week. I am married, but with no kids. I think it all depends on the person and their ability to manage school, work, family, etc.

I am currently in an entry level masters program. I have been working in postpartum/nursery for the past year and will start the FNP portion in August. I have zero med/surg experience and went directly into OB as a new grad.

I already have a job, but I thought I would still give a heads up about available jobs through the county :).

I had my interview back in March and passed. I received a call from the RN recruiter a week ago to set up an interview for a RN position at LA+USC Hospital. Thought it was kind of odd they were calling me because I i thought we had to call them to see what hospitals were hiring. Either way looks like they are looking for nurses which is good to hear!!!!

I am too a new grad and interviewed with LA County back in March. I passed the interview and they told me I would have to call around to the various hospitals to see if they are hiring. I now have a job at another hospital but I received a call from LA+USC to see if I was interested in setting up an interview for a RN position. I would try LA County if you haven't applied there, although the process can take some time.

My initial interview was with HR at LA USC County Hospital. I actually just received a letter in the mail stating that I passed the exam (interview) and my name is placed on the eligible list for registered nurse positions. When I had my interview, the lady interviewing me informed me that once I receive my exam result then I can start calling the various county hospitals to determine if they have any open positions. So the interview allows you to be placed on the eligible list, it doesn't mean there are positions available. I actually accepted another position as a RN, therefore I will not continue with the process. Hopefully this helps some :)

I only attended day 1 of orientation because that same day I was offered a RN position closer to my house and in the unit I wanted to work in. Do you work at Glendale?

I was surprised by the amount of people they hired. They had 3 shifts (day, evening, night) for each unit to fill. So for L&D there were two CPOE users for day shift. I am not sure about the other units. They didn't say how many they would hire as RNs. They kept emphasizing that "this is your time to shine". The orientation started in April and I believe the position ended in June sometime.

The pay at Glendale was what their new grads make. And during downtime you can assist the RN, but no medications, no IVs, no procedures (foleys,NGT,etc). It's a good way to get your foot in the door and interact with managers and other staff members.

Is it a phone or in person interview? When I applied to Glendale Adventist it was a phone interview first and then a open house interview. They ended up hiring around 60 people. I was offered a position there on the L&D floor on day shift. Some people ended up getting their 2nd choice unit. When I had my interview they said to pick my top 2 units. I first interviewed on the phone with nurse recruiter. At the open house I interviewed with the director of L&D and also the CPOE RN. If you have any other questions feel free to send me a message.

Thanks :) The position I was offered paid the same or I think a $1.00 less an hr than what their new grad RN is paid. Good luck on the interview!
