Hey Everyone! I want to congratulate you all on being accepted/wait listed to UCLA! As a recent graduate of the MECN program (2012) I wanted to offer my opinion on the program and finding nursing jobs now that I'm in the "real world". I see that ther...

For the summer cohort I applied on the last day possible and still received an interview.

Wait, Nashville is notorious for bad traffic?!?! I'm from LA and was looking forward to no longer planning my life around rush hours (more like the entire morning and afternoon). I'm sure it's not as bad and it's not as big or spread out of a city, ...

Don't worry... I'm starting my licensure app this week for TN. I'm hoping 2 months should be sufficient time to get it.

Moving cross country is so complicated! I moved once before (from Los Angeles to Baltimore) and hired a moving company and drove my car cross country. The drive was doable since I had family along I-70 in Denver and Kansas to stay with, it was June w...

Hey Dlib, some advice on Tuesday traffic... It will be crazy!!! I'm from LA and the 405N to 5N at 4:30 is VERY slow any weeknight. However, it is also the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, so there will be even more traffic. The upside is that your or...

I'm from Los Angeles. Just finished UCLA's masters entry program. Where are you from? It'll be interesting to figure out moving to Nashville - drive, fly, getting a moving company, etc. lots of decisions and planning before January!

I just got my acceptance letter for the Women's Health track!!! I'm so excited and will be accepting. I'm from California and having a hard time wrapping my head around moving though. But the job market is so terrible out here especially for L&D/...

I haven't heard anything yet either. I applied to Women's Health. I was wondering earlier if maybe they do they in batches according to specialty? Who knows... but if we don't hear tomorrow, its going to make for a LONG weekend.

I finished my app around 1:30 Monday. No email either way yet.

Monday orientation is 8-12, Wed and Thurs 8-5 and Fri 8-12. They said they will try to give us our schedules 2 weeks in advance going forward. Hope this helps... No idea if other peoples schedules will be similar.

I start November 26th and just got an email tonight about scheduling. I'm on inpatient L&D (woo hoo!!!) and have orientation Mon, Nov 26th and then three L&D specific trainings Wed-Fri that week. There was no additional information included. ...

I would hope so! However, since its Veteran's Day (observed) I wouldn't be surprised if HR has the day off. If I had to place a bet on it, I would say Wednesday or later.

They are hiring 400+ super users - new grad RNs, current nursing students, and people with previous IT experience. If you're still considering applying - do it! It's a great experience and resume builder. All of us who have been hired don't start unt...

Agreed! I was checking my phone for an email all day today. I'm pretty positive we will hear next week though. Try to enjoy the long weekend and here's hoping for good news next week!!!

My heart skipped a beat today when I saw the email from the recruiter... but just a follow up that interviews are completed and we'll hear more in mid-November. The wait is on!

I think previous tech or CNA experience is a HUGE plus in this job market for us new grads! Personally I've worked as a Health Educator and then in breast cancer research... so health-related but not direct patient care. I completed my master's entry...

None of the questions were too "out there" or really caught me off guard. Just think about what makes you an unique candidate and sets you apart from other people. The first part was more general questions with them getting to know you and the second...

Had my interview today! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The info the Recruiter sent (PDF on interviewing) was really helpful - have good patient and clinical stories in mind and of course know why you're interested in Vandy. Good luck to everyone...

Hey Everyone! So glad someone started this thread. I'll be interviewing next week (Oct 3rd) for the Women's Health track. I'm from Los Angeles and graduated in June from UCLA's master's entry program. The job market is really tough out in California...

I know a nurse in Maternity who said they were going to hire two, but may actually hire three. Anyone else out there waiting to interview with Maternity?

It's nice to hear that other people also have second interviews this week. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear from LPCH and those with interviews for LPCH and Stanford still to come!

Thanks for the info and congrats on your offer! The anticipation is killing me, but I know HR is probably really busy today between LPCH offers and moving people on to the next round for Stanford.

Has anyone heard from LPCH about job offers? I had the chance to interview with one of the units and HR told me they would let me know by today. My other unit got a week extension and I haven't even done the interview yet!

Hey Everyone! Congrats to those who have gotten an acceptance or are on the wait list. I know right now is a crazy time, trying to figure out what school to accept and preparing for wherever you go. I'm a 1st year MECN student and I know last year al...
