UCLA New Grad Summer 2012 program

Published

@kv07 so have you already received offers from other hospitals? how much time did they give you to respond?

I have not received actual "offers" but I am externing in a local hospital and did my preceptorship in the same hospital on a different unit. Although there hasn't been a job offer yet, I pretty much know I will get hired on in the unit I am working on (although I would prefer working on the unit I did my preceptorship) and will have an interview with that unit soon too.

But I don't want to be stuck in a situation where I accept an offer and then if I am lucky enough to get an offer with UCLA, back out of my acceptance to the hospital I am already working on...you know what I mean?

That's why this whole waiting is so hard.

Absolutely. I don't plan to stay in the area where I am in nursing school so I'm in a situation where I just want to know where I'm going haha :)

Good luck!

same here @kv07 ! I work at a hospital where my UD already wants to hire me and we havent even went through the hiring process yet! I am blessed to have that as an option but it's not where my heart is :( and I just don't want to settle ya know? so I'm hoping that UCLA knows this and will take that into consideration. the only thing that sucks about UCLA is that it starts in August while most hospitals (im external outside Cali) start in June! so of course those people are hiring like now! my fear is accepting a position and being offered at UCLA later :/How would you guys handle a situation like that?

Did the UD mention when you would hear back from them? She said to me it would be 2-3 weeks.

She told me the same. I went in on April 12th... so the three mark is coming up! Any idea how many spots she is looking to fill?

That's been on my mind too. I've talked about it to one of my clinical instructors and the best advice she gave me was, "Do what you need to do and what's best for yourself!"

And I feel ya, the place I am working at right now, that's not where my heart is.
