Oops did not know this! PM me if anyone wants the link to the group :)

can't wait to meet everyone!

we should start a facebook SM page :)

Congrats! We will be working on the same unit!! Did the UD send you an email or anything after the phone call? I haven't received anything yet...

Hi NewCaliRN, I did not ask how many they were hiring. But this is for SM, not RR. I'm sure RR will hire more than SM because the unit is bigger. I only had one interview. Let me know if you need any more info!

Fingers crossed for you! I know it seems so hopeless out there especially reading some of the stuff on here where people weren't finding jobs for months and years after graduation. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was gonna move home and chil...

The ICU/PICU! Where are you waiting to hear from? And once I finish my LAST paper of nursing school I will definitely be celebrating tonight. Thank you!

I got a job offer at Santa Monica! Good luck to you all and hope to see some of you in new grad classes :)

Lol don't be scared! I'm sure since you've gotten an official "You're hired" you should rest easy :) Plus the unit I interviewed for is at Santa Monica...I think everyone has been hired so far at RR?

Wow, months?? The UD said by the end of this week "hopefully" so I guess I shouldn't hold my breath lol. I am definitely not gonna wait around for a weekly update!

Did anyone get a phone call saying they're still waiting for the budget to approve new grad positions?? Is that good or bad??

Hi all, I will be a new graduate nurse next month and was wondering if the reservations hire new grad nurses? As a former military brat, I am itching to immerse myself in a new culture after being in SoCal for so long! Also, there seems to be some a...

Did you interview with RR or SM? For SM, I was told by the nurse recruiter we should hear back right after Thanksgiving or at the latest, first week of December I'm assuming it's the same for SM ICU because the PICU is on the same unit and the inter...

How exciting for all three of you!!!!! A lot to be thankful for tomorrow :) I'm looking forward to trying to get my mind off the wait with lots of food!

Congrats!!! That is so exciting!! Did they call or email you?

I did the same thing! Card in the mail and then I e-mailed them a week later saying I had sent a card in the mail and I wanted to say thank you again in case they never got it. Do you know if s/he interviewed at RR or SM? I had also e-mailed the nurs...

I interviewed for SM's PICU and they said they would let us know by the first week of December at the latest. BUT I don't know what they will be letting us know lol I'm assuming a second interview but maybe they could only be doing one round?? I didn...

congrats MrNurse2011!!

Next time I am definitely bringing the cards with me so that I can write them right after! Thanks for your replies :) And good luck with the interviews/waiting!

For everyone who has had interviews, did you send a thank you card or just an email or anything at all?? I'm at a loss because I'm not sure how reliable snail mail is in a huge hospital! But an email does not seem quite as professional. Thoughts??

Did anyone interview for SM's PICU? The interviewer made it sound like they would be only hiring one new grad! Yikes! PS. The "essay" questions before the interview are super easy :)

I got that email too! So now MORE waiting. Exciting haha!

I thought Santa Monica might be a little less competitive since Ronald Reagan is Magnet and has received all the prestigious awards but obviously there is no method to this madness!! Did they say if they'll be doing another round of interviews? Or ju...

MrNurse2011 and Zippy7, were you two interviewing for a position at Ronald Reagan or Santa Monica? I wonder if the process is different depending who you're interviewing with. And thanks for the info! Do you think it would be a waste of time to bring...

Congrats! What unit are you interviewing for?
