gastro2012

I started as a new grad at cedars and I have no complaints so far! I think it really depends on the unit. The other nurses on my unit have been very helpful and supportive. During nursing school at other hospitals I encountered many rude nurses who m...

I worked a similar gig after graduation while trying to find a full-time acute care job. I replied to an ad on craiglist for seasonal flu shot clinic nurses. The interview wasn't really an interview, more of an "here's the job, when can you start" th...

I didn't see a thread yet for this residency, so thought I would start one. Update if you hear anything!

Thanks! I graduated in May 2012 with a BSN, so I spent a year unemployed looking for jobs! The last 2 months I really got a lot of interviews and things picked up (maybe it just took me that long to get good at interviewing lol). So don't give up! It...

I got a phone interview and then received a rejection letter in the mail about a week ago. I was offered and accepted a great job offer at another hospital though, so i'm not too bummed about it! Good luck all :)

cohort 2: I've completed the reference check, background check, and drug screen. It sounds like we are all in the same boat. I think I must have checked the box requesting a free copy of my background check, because I got a copy in the mail this wee...

During the cohort 2 phone interview phrase I missed the initial call and played phone tag with them for several days also. They won't forget about you and will call back! You can also just call back a lot of times but not leave messages if they don'...

Thanks everyone for all your helpful comments on LA neighborhoods! Much appreciated :)

I was wondering the same thing! From my initial brief search it seems every apartment near cedars is $2,000/month! I'll be relocating from the Bay Area so I don't know the area that well. What are the affordable apartments/neighborhoods close to ceda...

Anyone know when the CHOC August 2013 residency app opens? Online is says it will open in april for the august cohort. I've tried calling HR but haven't gotten through yet. Just making sure I haven't missed it yet! Thanks.

I just got a call with an offer!! :)

I haven't heard anything yet for cohort 2, hoping "no news is good news" and for a phone call this afternoon! In the meantime, trying to be patient :)

well today has been another long, slow day. Anyone hear anything about cohort 2 hiring decisions? I hate the post-interview waiting game! It's been a week now and friday will be 10 days, which is when some of us were told we would hear by. It sounds...

thanks for the info sandymickey! I feel better with those cohort 2 odds :) Hoping tomorrow is the day!

My phone hasn't left my sight all day waiting for it to ring! I really thought we would hear something about cohort 2 today! Sandy Mickey- what time did they call you at? And try hired 25 just for cohort 1? I wonder if its the same for all the cohor...

Anyone hear from cohort 2 yet today? My status is still "open" after my 3rd interview...I've been waiting by my phone all day!

Just realized that tomorrow is a holiday and tuesday is prob the earliest we will hear anything...more waiting!

you did everything right if you could attach everything to the online app! Some of my documents were too large, for example I had to scan 3 pages of my transcripts which ended up making a really big PDF document when merged and I couldn't find a way...

First cohort- just wondering, do you know what the current pay rate and differentials are? I think I remember seeing $33/hour base in older threads, is it still the same? Thanks!

Yes, i emailed everything to the HR person-essay, letter of intent, transcripts, letters of rec, cover letter, etc. the second day the app was open. All the attachments will not fit in the online application, so call HR and they will give you the nam...

I just got a phone call from the recruiter for a really basic phone interview. She said they are doing interviews on a rolling basis, she will forward our information to the manager and go from there. Also the app period doesn't end until mid-june, s...

I thought my interview went really well! I was also told within 10 days at the front desk. It seems like people form the first cohort got phone calls within 5-6 days with an offer though.

Are you guys bringing anything to the 3rd interview? My email didn't specify if we needed to bring a resume, etc.? hlachoffrn- sorry to hear, such a bummer when you when you did everything right but the interviewer obviously does not want to be ther...

I'm curious how many are going to the 3rd interview also! Has anyone received a rejection after the 2nd interview, or not get invited to the 3rd?

hmm where does it say 2012, mine says 2013 form what I glanced over.... I'm thinking i will call tomorrow AM to confirm this lol :)
