UCLA New Grad RN SUMMER 2011

Published

Summer hopefuls talk here.... good luck to us all!!! :nurse: :redbeathe

Hey NoMoreSchool! Thanks for the great info! During my interview she said they were considering only taking 10 new grads, but I wasn't sure on how many of us were interviewing for the position. Good luck to all of us! ;)

So she did say 10 "new grads"? That's strange bc she told me 8-10 positions (not new grads), but she is thinking of 10 since there are so many people she has to interview. When I was there, I did see nurses who already worked at UCLA waiting to be interviewed by her so I doubt the 10 positions were for all new grads, I think there is a mixture of new grads and nurses who just want to get into L&D. Those UCLA nurses will have priority since they already are experienced RNs and already are UCLA employees, so I was pretty bumped out. I am sorry if my information is wrong but it's just my interpretation.

Hi!!! thanks for the great info!!!! she told me that she has two days of interview as well, but didn't know it's going to be for both already RNs and new grads. that kinda sucks!!!! Hopefully we hear good news. fingers crossed!

I was offered a NICU position on Friday. So happy! I really hope you all get the jobs you are hoping for! Good luck and stay positive :)

That is wonderful news, it seems you are the first one on this thread to earn your spot on the NICU, well done!! Did you get a call or an email? and was it from the UD (initials BS)? Hope to hear soon myself, one way or the other, the wait is so difficult....Congratulations again!!

I couldn't take it anymore and emailed the Liver ICU UD. She's out of the office from May 2-10th and will be back May 11th. I spoke with the nurse recruiter and she said no decisions have been made yet. So keep our fingers crossed for those waiting :)

Can someone tell me what is the difference between a unit director and a nurse manager?

Hi RN1218,

I feel your pain!!!!! I also emailed her and got the same thing but I heard someone said in the thread that she'll make calls on may 16th but that's still too too long! I wish she woulda made a decision for those who didn't get the position way before she left so we can just move on!!!!! Our unit is taking really long compared to others, it's insane!!! Otherwise good luck to everyone!!!!!
