What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing topics related to job interviews, work schedules, uniform fittings, and orientation for a cohort starting in March. They are sharing information about the hiring process, interview experiences, and the number of new grads being hired for different units. Some are also seeking tips for specific unit interviews and discussing the likelihood of being hired based on the number of applicants.

Hi! I could not attend the informational sessions so I wondered if anyone was willing to share their notes and insight from the meeting! I would appreciate it if you could share the expected deadlines/time frames, important information we should know when applying (how to/documents needed etc), or any other relevant information!

Thank you in advance for any help!! ❤️

Hi! I'm currently in an ABSN program and realized how quickly this application approached. I wasn't able to attend the info sessions so any info would be greatly appreciate. I also cannot seem to locate the application. Can someone please post the link?

This is my second time applying for UCLA's Nurse Residency Program!

The first time I applied, it was for Med Surg/Tele Overflow in SM and the Medical ICU in RR. I got interviews for both units, but unfortunately didn't get an offer (MICU was only hiring 2 people, and there were 16 of us interviewing. Not sure how many people they were taking for MS/Tele overflow but there were 14 of us interviewing). I applied during my second to last term of nursing school, so I didn't have my license yet. 

This second time, I applied for the Emergency Department and the Liver Transplant ICU. I passed my NCLEX and got my license in June, and all of my clinical hours were in the ED, so I'm hoping that would give me a better chance this time (-';

Commenting to stay in the loop. Currently waiting for my recommenders to send their letters. Has anyone heard if they close the application before the cutoff if there's too many applicants?

This is my first time applying. What would I do if I am interested in both OB and the ED? Do I mention my interest in both?
