UCLA Hiring Process

Published

For those of you that got hired by UCLA as an experienced RN. How long did it take for them to contact you with the official job offer after completing the 5 reference Skill Survey? Is the Skill Survey reference check the final step before the official offer or does UCLA conduct a full background check before extending the official offer?

Hey! My friend had her interview and completed the reference. She just got the job 4 months after she completed everything. They are extremely backed up with offer letters from what I heard. Unfortunately it's a waiting game.

Specializes in ICU.

For experienced nurses or new grads?

Specializes in ICU / PCU / Telemetry / Oncology.

I’m an experienced RN, took me 6 months from application to offer to get a per diem job there.

Thanks for the responses. I did get the job offer 3 weeks after the interview. I found out my director who interviewed me was playing games lol. The director called me an hour after my interview and said I'm golden and she called HR to give me a job offer. I called HR one week after the interview and they said no offer can be made because it is up to the director to give the nod for the job offer.

So after 2 weeks of hearing nothing from HR, I left a follow up voice message on the director's cell phone which she gave me after the interview. She called me back and told me at least 3 times "I'm very glad you called me." She was testing if I was serious about the position because I was from out of state. That same day I got the job offer from HR.

The take away from this is if the director/manager gives you their personal cell number after an interview, it's an invitation to use and probably a test if you are serious about the position.

That is so unusual that they do that kind of "test" lol
