NewRNAllie,

Do anything you can to stand out from the crowd.

I looked at the UCLA website and searched for the New Grad position on the career website, but I couldn't find the position. Is the application period still open?

Thanks!

Hi,

I just wanted to start a thread for people applying to UCLA's new grad program this year. I have filled out the application online, but wondered if I should send a hard copy too. Does anyone else have any information? I heard that for the last new grad class, they had more than 800 applicants for 80 slots. Kind of discouraging...

Hi newRNAllie,

How'd you get to apply to their new grad program? I heard it doesn't open until later October-early November?

Good luck.

Yea, I got a hold of someone in HR over their and they said that the application opens up in October...

80/800...1 percent chance is better than no chance right!:)

Ya, apps don't open until Oct 25:)

yes, my friend who got hired there informed it opens up on October 25 at 8 am.

What kind of program is this, is it for new nurses?

There were 71 hired last round, but there were way more than 800 applicants :/ It's not impossible, though—A bunch of people on allnurses were hired! I'd say definitely DON'T send a hard copy. Absolutely not. The UCLA Health System and especially HR are very aware of the environment and wasting paper. I brought a hard copy of my resume to my first interview and was told to keep it because it's a waste to have two copies.

80/800...1 percent chance is better than no chance right!:)

Uhm, wouldn't that be a 10% chance?

Hey everyone - I just submitted my application for the program! I had NO IDEA there were that many applicants for the program (800?!) -- I inquired about how many people they anticipate to accept in the program for winter 2011 and was told about 80. Also, its my DREAM to work in the neuro/trauma ICU - and was told that there are around 4 openings. ahhhh

but good luck to everyone - and lets keep each other updated on the progress! :)
