Hey everyone,

Finally accepted a soft offer for Acute Med 7E. I made it by the hair of my chinny chin chin! Anyone in the bay area that is looking to move close to the hospital or anyone else that might be interested in meeting up, feel free to send me a PM! I thought I was done for when I read others had received their offers, but I just got my call today. Hang in there everyone!

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!!!!!

ooh, thanks for the update. i guess it's good that she's still on vacation. i must have misunderstood her when i spoke to her a few weeks ago - i thought she was gonna be back in the office last monday. *fingers crossed*

Anyone coming from out of state: how are you getting fingerprinted for your license? are you flying out and doing live scan, or doing the fingerprint card that takes 1-2mons to process?

I'm going the route of transferring my NY license as opposed to getting the cali license right away but theres still the fingerprinting problem. I'm just worried about my CA license not being ready by the start date. what will happen? will they fire me? lol

Also not to be corny but maybe we can start a facebook group for all the new grads starting at ucla?

GOOD LUCK to everyone still waiting to hear back!!

It takes FOREVER to transfer your license... so you should really consider getting a temporary license! And a facebook group sounds great!

Thanks for your response. A temporary license will take less time? It seems like it will take 4-6 weeks which is the same as transferring? Cuz a lot seems to be online now.. Maybe i will just apply for a Cali license and get a partial refund from NY.

Blah. How should I do the group? I feel weird posting my full name on here lol

I was just thinking about this... hmm could you post your e-mail? or make a new one just to give out on here then we can e-mail you our info so you can add us?

OR we could PM you our info if we want to be added.. but the only problem there would be that some people cannot PM yet if their account is new and they have less that 15 posts

A facebook group sounds great. It'll be a good way for us all to connect :) .

LoveAlwaysV - since we're friends on facebook already, maybe one of us can make the group and everyone else that has gotten an offer so far can search the group and add themselves? We can post the group link on here once its made.
