Hi g3rly and angeRN09, I can't wait to meet you two! Do you guys know anyone else working in the PICU? Have you girls done your new hire paperwork yet?

Also, who gets to make the final decisions? Is it the manager? or does HR and manager get to decide like the panel interview we had?

Has anyone heard back from LPCH Peds critical care (CVICU and PICU)?

Thanks for your replies. So, has anyone gotten an offer from LPCH?

Hi, For those of you who already found out that you were not selected, did you get an e-mail or was there a status change on the employment website? Thanks!

Hi g3rly, I was also hired in the PICU. I only got a call telling me to do a physical and then go get my fingerprint at the HR. However, I have not received any official offering letter or anything like that. Did you? I am kind of lost.. Does anyone who was hired at UCLA PICU know anything? Thanks!

If you want to work in a hospital in California NOW, BSN is probably required.

I just received a call from HR saying that the manager will call me for an interview sometime in the next week... This is for LPCH. Has anyone heard back? I totally thought they were done interviewing and had already chosen their final candidates to start in September. I'm nervous and excited at the same time since I never thought I would make it this far...

Hi! I met with the unit manager on 7/1 and was offered a position later during the day. I have no idea how many more positions are still available on the PICU since it's been awhile since I interviewed. She did say the start date is Aug 23 so you still have a month. Good luck to you!!

Hi Everyone, I've recently accepted a position at UCLA PICU! Does anyone know have any information regarding the hiring process (paperwork ,etc). The manager only told me to make an appointment with the health center to get my medical clearance. Other than that, she hasn't really said or sent me anything. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks!

Hey angeRN09, When is your interview at the PICU this week?

Has anyone interviewed with PICU? And do you mind sharing how the interview was like with the unit manager?

Hi Teenychristinie, Which unit did you get the offer from? I am also wondering if anyone interviewed for the regular ICU and ER yet?

Theviv- Did you e-mail the recruiter and then got the message you received on 6/10 or was it automatically sent to you? Also, do you mind telling me which floor are you interviewing for? Congrats on the interview!

Hi, my status changed to application in review as of 6/14... Did yours change too?

No..it never said in process. It just went form "unknown" to "selected for interview"

hi everyone, FYI- i applied to only LPCH and got a phone interview on 5/25 and my status went from "unknown" to "selected for interview" a day later. Does anyone else have the same status as me?

hi everyone, i also applied to Stanford and I had my phone interview with the recruiter last week and my status went from being unknown to selected for interview. I don't know if the "selected for interview" means the phone interview or the interview for the next step? Does anyone have the same status as me?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how many new grad RNs UCLA takes?? Thanks

Re: What do RN's make in California? I work in the Sacramento area as a new grad (Graduated in Dec 2008, NCLEX in Feb 2009, Working in Sept 2009) and make a hourly of mid-forties. My classmates that were lucky enough to land a job in the Bay Area make around $50+ an hour. Just out of curiousity NurseCubanitaRN2b, why would you want to avoid a unionized hospital? I have worked in both unionized and non-unionized facilities, and would choose a unionized facility any day over the other option. Just curious about your reasoning? HI itsthegreeneyes, I have a few questions to ask you..I graduated DEC 2009, NCELX in FEB, 2010 and now there are no jobs for the new grad...I am wondering if it was just as hard for you to land a job in 2009 since you didn't start working 'til Sept 2009? All of the new grad positions are either put on hold or cancelled and these programs won't assume until summer 2010 and from what recruiters have been saying the spaces for these programs are VERY limited. Were you in a similar situation? I am so shocked at how DIFFICULT it is to find a RN job. I have a BSN, graduated at the top of my class....and I can't even get an interview. I've applied EVERYWHERE all over California. It's so discouraging. Do you have any tips? Thanks

Hi everyone, For those of you who interviewed for UCLA New Grad RN program... What were some of the interview questions? Any tips? Thanks!!

Yes this is the RN residency program for March, 2010. Did you get an interview as well??

I have a phone interview with CHLA Nurse residency program and I was wondering if anyone knows what types of questions they ask? Any tips? Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I just got a phone interview for the RN residency program at CHLA. Can anyone give me some tips on the interview? What kind of questions did they ask? What are the chances of actually getting hired after being offered an interview?? Please help me!! Anything would be great! Wish me luck. :) Erica Chang

Hi, I am also interested in applying to UCLA FNP program. I earned a second bachelor in nursing from NYU with a GPA 3.5. What do you think of my chance of getting into UCLA FNP is? I heard it's very competative so I don't know if my GPA is considered good or not for the program. Also, HOW do you like the program? I want to know everything! Thanks :)
