Updated:   Published

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.

Hey guys! I'm starting this thread for the Winter 2025 Cohort at UCLA. Hopefully we can update each other on application processes, interviews, and job offers!

The application opened up today 09/06! Good luck to all of us ❤️

Hi friends-- SOS is anyone else starting here who went to an out-of-state nursing school? I passed my (NC) NCLEX on Friday and just completed the application for endorsement. I am REALLY worried that my license will not be ready by our start date in March. Is anyone else in the same position? 

As I mentioned, I am doing the the CA license by endorsement process. I am transferring my NC license to CA and was wondering how long this process has actually taken people from the time you submit your Breeze application. The website says a 10-12 week processing time, but frankly I am stressed and freaking out. However, I have heard from some that it doesn't take that long so I am curious what you have experienced/ if anyone else is dealing with this right now. Furthermore, is anyone else worried about this communication requirement!? Thanks!! 

I was told by the BON that it could take 3+ months to endorse over to CA. I would call your representative at the BON and see what the timeframe is now, and if it could be sped up.

Average time frame I've seen and heard is about 2 months sometimes little less sometimes little more

That's why endorsements get temp license in the mean time but tricky part is getting hired with temp but the license number stays the same

Has anyone who got an offer from WV still not received their I-9 form yet? I accepted an offer before Thanksgiving and have already had my new hire session, but still haven't received the I-9.

I got into WV location, do you want to connect?
