Hello, 

Has anyone hear back from hematology/oncology or OR Santa Monica or Ronald Reagan? Wondering if most people who are hearing back are internal applicants. 

I received the email for the interview at RR main OR. I am an external applicant. Hope you will hear back from them soon.

Anyone else starting to give up on getting hired as an external applicant? Feels impossible.

Yes! Applied for L&D and PICU and haven't heard anything. Kinda feels like they sent out interviews all at once 🫠 Giving up hope for UCLA. Praying I get something somewhere else 

From what I'm seeing many they are interviewing external before internal applicants. 

nothing yet from RR ICU?

Hi, I'm internal applicant sadly I didn't make the cut I got my application sent to the hiring manager then two days later I got an email I'm no longer considered. Kinda bummed out since I been a float team for 1 year. It's okay, best of luck everyone I hope you guys get an interview ❤️

Has anyone heard back from Santa Monica yet? 

Hi,

I got an email to interview for the RR Main OR and I am an out of state external applicant

For the OR applicants- do you have experience in the OR already or did you get clinical opportunities in school? 

Does anybody know if they are still reaching out to people for interviews? 

Hello! has anyone heard back from med/surg or ED units? I haven't received any communications since I submitted the app! Thank you!

I haven't heard if anyone is interviewing with West Valley units yet. I think there are definitely adult units that haven't set up initial interviews yet. 

I think the higher demand units interview first so they have time to do second interviews. Don't quote me on that but it's what I've heard from past cohorts.
