Hi, everyone! I wanted to start this group for those who will or are still thinking about applying to UCLA's new graduate program!
We can talk about applying, any rumors we've heard or just anything in general.
I started a Facebook group too (since other groups have in the past):

Does anyone know anything about the interview process/what kind of questions they ask? Are they all behavioral or do they throw in some clinical based questions?
I interviewed for the last cohort (unfortunately didn't get hired then) and the process is pretty similar for all of the units. Everyone interviews in the Wilshire Building (separate from the hospital) and most interviews are about 15-30 minutes long with 2-5 staff (unit directors, supervisors, charge RNs, etc). Some units will invite people to tour the unit and continue the interview (but getting invited sometimes is a courtesy to all interviewees rather than a selection process, so it doesn't mean you have a better chance or not) but not all units do this. Only very few actually do. Some units choose to hold second round interviews, some do not.
As far as questions do, they're primarily behavioral and situational questions, but some will throw in basic clinical questions (ex. priority, delegation, next steps).
Hope that helps! :)
