  1. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    janbug replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure how TalentPlus works so I can't really respond to that question. I know that it's used as a screening tool, but usually they put you through Talentplus first, then the recruiter...

    No, because my application status still says "In Review" and I've been working since August.. Congrats on having the TalentPlus done with. That was the weirdest phone interview I've ever

    Unfortunately I can't answer this question. I was hired as a New Grad RN and all the New Grads started at the same hourly rate. I'm assuming you're an experienced nurse (but feel free to correct me...

    janbug replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not sure what they mean by "rotating" because I was told that once we were off orientation the unit director (Valerie) would determine where the openings were and would place us. She did say that we...

    janbug replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's Janbug. :) I like the unit that I'm working on. There are 3 other new grads that were also hired (including me, a total of 4) so we're basically going through orientation together. So far most...

    janbug replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure
