I'm posting this as the UCLA Health applications open up today for Summer 2023. Want to have a chance to connect!

She said if your application is 'in review' we are still fully being considered for the position! She was really really kind it made me feel so much better.
you spoke to someone from the perinatal department? ? thanks for the update!

What did your offer say about your shift? Mine said "you will work day shift and/or day/night shift rotation.” I asked Nicholas and he said: "Your primary shift will be days, yet all Nurse Residents are expected to work day/night rotation throughout the year due to program needs (I.e. class, orientation).” In my interview, rotating shifts was never mentioned, I was only asked my preference and I told her days.Anyone wondering - Night differential is $6.00, weekend differential is $2.75, and after 6 months, pay will raise to $56.63. ?
For anyone who was paranoid about the "rotating shifts,” reach out to your director personally for clarification. I asked mine about the wording on my offer and she said:
"For clarification, you are not required to rotate. Our CNE no longer requires mandatory rotating however I include this on offer letters for the following reason: In the event you later would like to change shifts, it will not be required to go through an extensive process. I have had several people over the years after being hired want to change shifts so it was recommended to include rotating in the offer letter. You will be working day shift.” ?????
100% going with UCLA because that was my only doubt I had about the job! I hate night shift and rotating sounds scary. I'm very happy with this deal! ?

I asked specifically about perinatal but it did sound general for all applications still in review.
