Hi Anyone ever do the UCLA summer externship? What types of things do they ask in a phone interview? How did you get chosen? Did you get clinical hours with patients or mostly observe?

Hey I had my interview and it wasn't what I was expecting at all. It was with talent plus which I had never heard of before. It was a bunch of questions one after the other and the interviewer didn't really respond to my answers. I would say to have lots of stories in the back of your head that show how you overcame difficult situations etc. And expect a lot of random questions!

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if the application deadline passed for the 2011 UCLA summer externship program?

Dumb stuff, nothing to do with nursing. My favs included, "Are you a habitual smiler? Are you addicted to a positive attitude?" I think they were just looking to make sure you're consistent.

Yeah the habitual smiler question was a funny one... Not a bad interview... but not many nursing related questions.

I found out on Wednesday that I was accepted. Anyone else?
