Hey guys! I noticed there wasn't a forum set up yet for the USC Keck Versant residency program application period. Anyone else applied? It would be great to keep in touch and to hear about any updates! Thanks :)

I'm a New Grad and I want to be more involved... I'm in the process of getting a job at hospitals here in Los Angeles. Residency programs are starting to interview/hire, etc. In the meantime, I'm bored! I want to get involved. I've looked into the ...

My Status did change on Jan 17th. On December 28th it said offered extended/accepted (after they called me). Then on Jaunary 17th it changed to Alternate applicant selected, and then the same day I got an email saying UCLA was sorry that I had not be...

Guys!!! Hang in there. There is still hope. I just got a call abut 30 minutes ago!! Got offered the job, peds Ronald Reagan

Thanks for the encouragement! I mean, still no rejection letter here so that's not a no. Still holding on. I just hope the offer, if any, comes before cedars starts offering in early January. Congrats on your offer! Best of luck

Thanks for the info! Although, the news isn't so comforting :/. 5-7 weeks to decide between a handful of candidates is a bit absurd. Trying to stay focused on other things and positive :)...I clearly have some work to do on that lol

Don't worry, a TON of us are still waiting. This is between 2 hospitals so there are a lot of applicants they will be hiring. They said offers would "start" going out December 19th, so technically it could be even later! *silently crying* The units...

That video interview was NOT FUN lol. The questions were not what I was expecting at all. Harder than UCLA's questions for sure. Just not typical, caught me off guard. I can't remember who gave me the info, but yes, I think most go to med-surg. Howev...

I want to email HR so badly, but I keep thinking they will be calling any day now....maybe today! ah! I actually called to remain more anonymous, but the woman just didn't know anything. :)

They are pretty late in the game. There's no communication whatsoever. I forgot to add my transcripts to my application and tried emailing them and got no response back. I'm hoping it won't be a big deal, unless they are excluding people based on fol...

Just an update for everyone (because I know how it feels to be in the dark!), Cedars sent out a request for a one way video interview on Monday 12/12 and it is due by Wednesday 12/14 11:59pm. They will choose candidates from those videos and hold a l...

Oh interesting! I have no clue how they decided to send us to which unit in regards to peds. I applied for peds too, but I interviewed for a transplant unit and then an oncology/step down unit. Hmm! Well, I hope I get good news like you did .

Congrats! That's so awesome and thank you SO much for posting. It's a relief to hear they have started calling and making decisions. Even if I haven't received a call yet it'll be good to move on one way or another, you know? what unit& hospita...

Thanks for the update! Looks like you might not need the job anymore though haha, congrats. I recognize you from the UCLA board :)

CONGRATS!! How exciting the unit I interviewed with said deliberation for finalists would be between Dec 5-16 and offers would go out starting Dec 19th. What was the timeline they gave you?

You guys, the wait is killing me! I'm trying to keep busy, but...

Hey all, So I'd really love to hear your opinions! I have the chance to start off as a new grad in the OR. I think my biggest concern is, if I don't end up liking it...how hard will it be for me to transfer to another unit like say the Emergency Dep...

Not exactly sure what you were getting at, but I f you want people to actually read your post you might not want to come off so hostile in your first remark...

Thanks for the advice! Kind of what I figured. I think I am in a good position to get a Med-surg or PICU position if I pass on the OR offer. I've had interviews and all seemed to go really well. The OR was just a sure thing, and it was offered before...

Ok guys, So I'm for the ER all the way. Had my practicum there and fell in love, did great too! Could have gotten hired there, but I moved back to my home state(had no choice). However, I'm a new grad, in Los Angeles none the less. Chances of gettin...

I mean the program does start in April, so maybe they are just taking their time? Hm...

This kind of confirmed what I was already thinking. Nurses switch around all the time. It seems like the one profession where it's actually almost encouraged. However, I can see that the OR is so specialized it would be hard to switch over. I was no...

*** Ronald Reagan**

So I'm not sure if anyone is wondering about Peds anymore. Let me just say... the interview was an intense event. Had interview early morning with unit directors in a building separate from the hospitals, then I went to both Ronald Regan and UCLA SM...
