Hey Melissa. Your best bet might be an internal transfer to your own hospital's ED. Any contacts you can make down there will help a lot. Do you ever go down to start IV's? I know we ask Peds to come down every now and then. Do some research and lear...

USF doesn't require GRE

For anyone working at UCLA-RR looking for places to live, check out the Palms neighborhood. It is safe, relatively cheap, and convenient to UCLA by car or bus. I went to nursing school at UCLA and lived in Palms the whole time and it was great.

The first time I gave this medication, it was for a non-coding hyperkalemic patient. I asked a colleague if there was anything special I needed to know about the administration of these medications (also giving sodium bicarb, insulin, dextrose). She ...

Did anyone else apply to the University of San Francisco Entry Masters program for Summer '09? How do the notifications go out? Anyone accepted or rejected yet? I just submitted my app 2 weeks ago. Any info on this school including competitiveness wo...

Thanks to all of you on this thread for all the support/advice/information. I was just offered a position in the ER at UCLA-SM. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats on your job offers :)

Hey everyone. I just received the phone interview a couple hours ago, so they are still doing them! Hang in there everyone who hasn't heard anything :)

I just finished my interview. My manager was like 40 minutes late. We came in and were asked to answer 2 questions in writing before the interview to act as an "ice breaker" for the interview and they collected our CPR card photocopies. You then just...

Hey freetibet. It is true that the nurse recruiter has said that they won't consider you for ICU without a clinical practicum in ICU. However I have heard from multiple people, including nurses working in UCLA ICUs that this is not a strict rule. I a...

Same thing Ped.. Did clinicals there.

Just got called for an interview at SM-UCLA ER!!!! Was starting to get worried. She asked whether or not I already had an interview set up in another unit. I said no and she scheduled me for SM ER. She said she will follow up with an email with detai...

To those applying to ER, I spoke with the unit director today and she said she has not sent out interview notifications yet so don't worry. I also spoke with recruitment and asked what "routed to interview supervisor" actually means. She told me it j...

What unit csoo? You are making want to call tomorrow morning!

Just as in when?? 8pm?? Congrats!

My status changed yesterday to routed to interviewing supervisor. ER, SM-ICU, RR Nero ICU. I entered 7 references so theres definitely no upper limit

Apparently more emails will be going out today. Good luck all

Not sure what "consent form" they are talking about. I did have an issue where one of my references did not receive the reference form. I tried resending and she still didn't get it. Not sure if this is a problem with skill survey or on her end (in h...

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows definitively whether there will be a phone interview by Talent Plus? I know this was done in the past and I have heard rumors both ways but just wondering if anyone knows for sure. Thanks!

For those who have gotten the link. Did anyone else notice that in the skill survey email it asks for 3 out of 5 references to be managers/supervisors but the recruiter's email asks for 2 out of 5 to be supervisors/manager/clin instructor/professor? ...

Check your emails.. reference emails are going out as we speak (as I type) :)

I believe the application period is closed unfortunately. You could email HR your resume, but not sure that it will be considered but maybe worth a shot. I believe they hire twice a year so keep your eyes out. Good luck

My classmate compared it to standing blindfolded against a wall waiting to be shot... kind of dark but also kind of how I feel.... good luck everyone

Hmm.. So when you say "phone call for an interview", I am thinking that is the Talent Plus phone interview given by the same people who did that evil personality test and not a "phone call to schedule an interview"?.... I think I am more worried abou...
