Hi Chillceb, I'm too wondering about that ?? I guess they will call when they have received all the packets, perhaps???

Hi everyone! I've applied to the CHLA RN New Grad Program for Sept 2011 as well. I am doing preceptorship at CHLA right now and my clinical instructor is one of the unit managers. I've been told that internal interviews are going on already and externals should be hearing from HR within 2 weeks. Hope this helps!!

What did you all put as your choices?

No..I WISH!!! The floor that I'm precepting on isn't my first choice unit...so I'm in the same boat as every body else!

Don't worry, you'll get in too! What'd you put as your unit choices?

Hello Lovepeacelove,

I put PICU as my first choice (I think !! oh Lord..I'm starting to forget), what about yourself?

Have a fantastic weekend.

I interviewed at childrens on the 14th. I called and told them I'm from NY and would be in town interviewing, and HR set one up for me. She told me the process after the interview. She said I was the very first person she's interviewed. They're choosing 100 to do the preliminary interview and they will start calling after the 22. I applied for NICU so she said 12 will be chosen to come back and interview for their unit of choice, and 5-6 new grads will be chosen from the 12. She said I would get a call back mid may if I am chosen for a second interview and will need to come back out. Interview was nothing to stress about and nothing clinical!

Thanks for your info and you're so lucky to have the very first interview and I think you'll get in ! Now you can relax and just wait for the call and as for me, I haven't even heard anything from them since I sent my packet.

Please keep us up to date and thanks again. :yeah:

Don't worry it's so early! She offered to interview me before even receiving my packet. I had to fed ex it. It was just a preliminary interview. Btw they ask u to "tell me about yourself" Like 3 times.

Hi.

I've seen you post on ucla's thread too. Did you also put NICU as your first choice at UCLA?

Good luck to you. Where else did you apply in Ca? And what would you do if you got both UCLA and CHLA?

Lol yeah UCLA is the reason I was in town interviewing. I didn't apply anywhere else.. I am waiting until May for some more applications to open up. I spent forever finding hospitals to apply to and I really want one with a new grad program like chla and ucla. At ucla I interviewed for the cardiac surgery unit. I highly doubt I will get both offers.. Or any offer.. Everyone interviewing at UCLA seemed to be legit lol. I don't have my license yet, and absolutely no NICU experience. I'd prob get an offer from

UCLA over childrens bc I have kind of a lot of cardiac floor experience (care assistant and internship). But I'm trying to just be positive and wait this out.

Did you apply to both? How's your search going? I hate this, I can't wait to be done!
