[RavenclawNurse]

I am posting this forum as a place to discuss the UCLA Winter 2019-2020 RN residency application! As a quick update, the application just opened today Oct 11th and will remain open until Oct 20th.

Good Luck ?

I have a question, I have heard from multiple sources that the cut off date for job decisions is January 31st. I was just wondering where this info can be found because I can't find it online for the life of me.

The only place I have seen it is in those papers they give us during our interview day. I was also looking for it today online but I couldn’t find it

Oh my gosh congrats on getting that second interview!!! That’s so exciting and I’m so happy for you!

I believe that date was given in the packet that we received at the interview.

Hi everyone! I’ve been following this thread for some time. I was wondering if someone can send me the link to FB group page? I can’t seem to find it on FB.

Also, does anyone know how the 2nd round of interview goes? I had my first interview last week for MICU and got an email today to schedule for interview #2. I’m just curious as to what the 2nd interview is like.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I'm trying to connect with other 4ICU MICU new hires! I was wondering if you received an offer also from 4ICU?

Officially rejected from 8icu 10 min ago via email. Good luck to the rest and congrats to those that got offers.

Officially rejected from 4NW said positions have been filled. Good luck to everyone else!

Officially rejected from 8ICU as well. best of luck to everybody.

Received my rejection for 7E/5E ? So proud of everyone who received offers!

Hey everyone, I also got my rejection letter from 8ICU yesterday. Definitely feeling a little bummed about it but all things happen for a reason so we will all move on to bigger and better things. Wishing everyone the best in the job search!

Hi, @taylorr13! It is highly recommended that you attend your interview in-person. When they send out interview invites, they state it in the e-mail that they will only do video interviews for special circumstances. They are pretty strict with their requirements because they receive a lot of applicants from all over the country, including out of the country.

As far as having things completed for the position, the major thing would be your license, a BSN or MSN, and an up-to-date BLS. Any other requirements will probably be completed during the on-boarding period if you are offered a position.

Thank you so much! Do you know when the onboarding period would be? Is it in March? I'm just wondering because if I was given an offer I won't be moving back to California until late January and just want to be prepared if there are onboarding things I have to do before my start date in March.

Hi! I’m not sure if anyone still checks this thread, but I am applying to the Summer residency program and have some questions. I graduate in MAy from UAMS in Arkansas and I am concerned as to what my chances are. I was wondering if other external applicants could share their background and school performance/extracurriculars so I could see if I am a good fit. I want to be a pediatric nurse and I want to do BSN research. From what I know about UCLA I feel that they would encourage me to continue to do BSN level research. Also, I am wondering what other people from out of state did if they were not offered the job. Did most of you accept jobs in other states or wait to reapply?

It can vary some times. February could be the earliest and April the latest. When interviewing, the handout they gave us stated February/March, but the start dates given out for this cohort were March/April.
