UCLA New Grad RN 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

Hello to all prospective UCLA Nurses!

My name is Matthew and I'm a CSU Long Beach alumnus.

I'm currently working as a Super User RN for the UCLA Health System.

I hope this thread will be able to answer our questions about the application, interview process and a place for any updates anyone receives for the 2013 new grad program.

With that said, I was told by recruitment that applications will be made available in March. :)

I applied for surgical, ortho, and onco! I know they say BSN preferred, but does anyone know if ADNs have a shot at this? I just graduated with my ADN and I am currently enrolled in a BSN program. Crossing my fingers!!

Is it too early to start expecting call backs or emails ? I wonder how long we have to wait or how this process goes ...

I completed school in Florida and recently moved out to CA for my husbands job. I did complete practicum in a CVPCU (cardiovascular progressive care unit), so I'm hoping that helps.

I applied for the CCU and CTICU and MICU. Did you have practicum in any of those units or do you know if that would be of any help? Good luck to everyone!!!!

Thanks! Do you know how many positions are available in general or per dept?

My friend got hired in Jan 2012 for their new grad program. She said she applied in Oct 2011 and didn't get her first interview until 2 months later Dec 2011... they are SLOW. -.- fyi. 2 step interview.

L&D are always hiring FYI for those of you who love L&D! :)
