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...

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! :)

Has anyone who applied know how the Talent plus phone interview is going to be like?

Just out of curiousity - does everyone who applies get the initial interview with talent plus? what's the turnaround time for talent plus to contact you to set up an interview? i just got the email from UCLA - but just a bit confused about the process. it sounds like the next steps forward would be 1) the talent plus phone interview and 2) completing the SkillSurvey link - which has yet to be sent out too... just want to make sure i'm not missing anything.

I am curious about the process as well. I received an email yesterday that I'll be getting a call from Talent plus and they will send a link to Skills survey (?) to put in 2-3 references. How long do you expect a call from them after you received the email?

Hi, I called them today because I was really confused as well. So the nurse recruiter told me that there were hundreds of applicants and that not everyone that applies gets a phone interview so that is kind of comforting I guess? Also it will take 24-48 business hours for us to get the phone call to schedule the interview with them. I got the email on Friday so that means I will either get a call today or tomorrow. Hope this helps!

Thanks for that response Betra123. I wanted to call too but I thought it was too early to be calling. I hope we get that call soon :)

From what I heard, we should be getting a phone call to set up the interview in a few days. Just be patient.
