-3.8 nursing school GPA -Went through new grad program at UCLA Health -Three years experience as a perioperative nurse -CNOR-certification (specialty certification for perioperative RNs) -active in process-improvement councils at work -acted as preceptor for new grads -did medical missions in Mexico providing free cleft-lip repair for underprivileged patients -had strong letters of recommendation Good luck!

I submitted unofficial transcripts with my application. I was then told that if accepted, you would then have to submit official transcripts.

I'm not sure about enrolling yet, but in regards to transcripts, I emailed the DIRECTOR OF RECRUITMENT an electronic transcript which he said he received. The other transcripts which I sent via regular mail will be received once the school lets the staff back onto campus after the outbreak (hopefully) cools down a bit.

I asked ------------------- the same thing. According to him, we can send them by mail to the address listed on his email signature, or, if you have the option, to send them electronically to his email address.

Adult/Gero Primary My last name starts with D

Got my letter just now! So stoked!

That IS a bummer. Shows how much I know haha. Oh well, if we can wait three months, another week shouldn’t be too bad.

I emailed him near the end of January and he said that they’re aiming for the end of March with our decisions. However, I also saw that they told the MECN students to expect to hear back at the end of February, and they got notified on February 6th. So hopefully that means we’ll hear back within the next few days.

Nothing yet, but judging from previous posts from the past few years, we should be hearing back 3-4 weeks after the MECN students. So basically any day now. Hopefully.

It looks like the MECN students have started to get their acceptance letters, so hopefully ours shouldn’t be too far behind!

Hi everyone! I’m an applicant for the APRN program but I’ve been watching this post closely because our decisions usually come out a few weeks after yours. Here’s hoping we all hear back soon!

I just sent an email to -------------------- asking when we could expect to hear back, and he told me that they were aiming for the end of March. ?

I’ve looked at the threads for the previous cohorts, and it looks as if a response can be expected as early as mid-February and as late as mid-March

Hey there. Applied for the Adult/Gero program. Been checking my email everyday for a response.

Yes, I sent as many thank you emails as I could. I found out about a month later that I got accepted through email. They didn't ask me for a reference check, although it could always change. Waiting is the worst part, I know! Just hang in there!

Hey there, sorry for the late reply, I have to sleep so early these days! I honestly don't remember very many clinical questions at all. Mostly they were about my personality. The OR is a very high stress environment and they want make sure that you can work well with others in such a setting. Other than that, if you have any OR experience at all, make sure you sell yourself on that! There are dozens of other interviewees and you want to make sure that you make yourself stand out from the rest, although if you made it this far into the process, I'm sure you already did. Best of luck, and I hope to see you on the other side!

I'm currently in the program. What kind of info were you looking for?

It looks like there are two groups at the moment: a general group for all those who have applied, and another group specifically for those who have received and accepted offers. Since you've accepted an offer I'll post a link for the latter: Log into Facebook | Facebook

Has anyone found or made a Facebook group for the Summer 2016 cohort? If not, pm me your name and I'll start one! EDIT: I went ahead and made one anyway! If you're on Facebook, search for "UCLA New Grad RN Summer 2016 Cohort". Let's all get connected!

Santa Monica!

Just received (and accepted) an offer from the OR! Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!

Thank you so much! This is exactly the answer I was looking for.

Hi everyone, I'm a newly minted nurse, having passed my boards a few weeks ago. I've worked as a secretary in the Operating Room of a major trauma center in Southern California for the past three years, and I've come to love the idea of pursuing a career in OR nursing. My question for you all is this: what can one do with a Master's degree in the OR setting? If I recall correctly, an RNFA's scope of practice allows him/her to perform relatively complex procedures such as cutting and suturing tissue, yet they are not required to hold an advanced degree. What additional duties and responsibilities, if any, could an OR nurse be given if he/she were to possess a Master's degree, or were a Nurse Practitioner? Thank you all for your input!
