I spoke to an HR person last week and she basically told me that they received a ton of apps & they want to interview almost everyone (phone screening). If you don't make it to the 2nd interviews,...

Graduated in May. Starting my 2nd week of work next week!

Thanks montecarlo! I have accepted the position because it seemed like a great opportunity (great pay & hours). It doesn't seem too stressful (we have two MDS coords for a 150-bed facility) plus...
