UCLA new RN residency program 2010

Published

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...

I applied for an ICU position .. No call yet other than the TalentPlus . Though it is possible that I somehow bombed the TP interview and now they don't want me :uhoh3: . I guess I'll find out by next week :rolleyes: . @betra123 did you also apply for an ICU ?

has anyone who applied for the ICUs received calls yet?

@VanessaRN- Yeahhhh I applied to To the liver transplant/sicu,micu, and the adult icu at ucla small. I feel.the same way you do bout bombing the talentplus interview and them not wanting me anymore either. I guess we just have to wait and see.where we stand! The nervousness and anticipation from Waiting just stinis! Just curious, are u in state or out of state?

I also applied for the ICU and no call yet...My number one choice was the liver transplant/surgical ICU. My second and third choices were either CTICU, CCU or MICU all at RR (I can't remember which two I chose and in which order). It really doesn't matter to me - I just want an ICU position!

So no one has received a call that applied for ICU?

@betra123. I applied for CTICU and NeuroTrauma. I haven't got a call. I don't know if you have gotten it. I've been so anxious. My phone has been with me since this forum said they started calling this week.

first off, congratulations to everyone who got a call for an interview !! :yeah:

secondly,

@betra123, @vball369, & @rtx723 -- thanks for sharing! i also have some friends who applied for icu positions that haven't received calls yet, so i don't know if it's a department-related thing or if we are all just an unlucky bunch (praying it's not the latter! :cool: ). i applied for icu positions at ronald regan ucla med center. so far, it *seems* like most people (on this forum, anyway) who received calls applied to positions at santa monica ucla hospital (although not everyone disclosed where they applied). i guess we're still playing the waiting game , but hopefully we hear some news (good news, please!) soon :nurse: . it's somewhat comforting that another week of potential calls is ahead of us .. though i'm not sure how much longer i can handle jumping at every phone call, lol.

oh yeah, @betra123 i'm in-state .

congrats to those who've received calls, & good luck to the rest :nurse::redpinkhe .

@vball and VanessaRN. It looks like we're in the same boat because we applied for ICU as the top choice. Its a waiting game and its killing me. It looks like they did Medsurg type of setting first from what I can deduce from this forum. Best of luck to all of us..

@VannessaRN.

I know how you feel in regards to the phone ringing. I get myself worked up and its not even "The Call".. ouch. this totally sucks. But if they haven't called yet. It looks like this will go on until the next week.

I applied to ICU positions as well and am waiting (anxiously) like the rest of you guys! Its amazing how much energy the job search/application waiting period takes out of you. You know its bad when you are running on the treadmill at the gym and you keep your phone on the console just in case you get "that call." In an instant you are ready to fall off the treadmill, breathless, to answer. haha.

I hope they haven't finished with the M/S interviews yet since my number one choice was MS/Stepdown. Since I already have my license, have kind of a unique resume, and thought I did alright on the TP interview I was hoping to still be called... This is so nerve wracking!

yeah the waiting is not fun :(. I applied to med-surg as a first choice and have not received any calls, but then I got an email that I was waitlisted even after I did the talent-plus interview, so I really have no idea what my status is, but as the week went by I did loose hope about recieving the call. however, good luck to all those who are moving forward, and keep us posted on the process!
