What was the program like.. and any tips for the interview! So pretty much any and all information that you might have!

Thank you, your time is greatly appreciated!

Hey! Not sure if anyone is still active on this thread, but I scrolled through all the pages and didn't see this previously asked. I applied on the 22nd of January and on the 23rd my status changed to pending recruiter interview. What is the next step? Should I expect a call or an email? How long did it take for you to hear from them? I applied to the WV program if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

You should get a call from a recruiter as the next step. I was just offered and accepted a position at Banner UMC (Tucson). I applied to west valley, east valley and tucson. My recruiter handled some Phx area hospitals and tucson as well. They'll ask your hospital preference as well as unit preferences. You may want to apply to Tucson as well, since they handle more than one area. Sometimes it results in a quicker response. I am about 5 hours from Tucson, so i did the initial phone interview with the recruiter, and then a second one with her as well. She does the hiring and recruiting. I had three choices of start dates. Once I finally got a call back (I'm a May 2018 grad) it went really smoothly and fast. I had an answer/offer the following day.

Which are is best to apply in Banner where cost of living is also affordable and safe for a stranger who doesn't know anyone at all. Thank you so much!

Old thread I know, but I have read through and it seems that everyone here was hired "on the spot". Can one assume that if you're not offered a position immediately (on the spot) that you haven't been hired? Does anyone walk away without an offer only to receive an offer a week or two later???

I was not offered on the spot. I think they called me a few days later to offer me the position.

I am interviewing tomorrow, I had my phone screening a couple weeks ago. Any advice for the interview? I’m an out of state applicant and super nervous.

[Ballyhoo, BSN, RN]

@Grace0419 What hospital did you apply to, and how long after applying did you get a call? I just applied tonight for West and East. I also am an out of state applicant, but don't graduate till the end of April. Really hoping I can get in on an ICU!

I was hired for Banner Boswell! I applied on a Sunday, had a phone screening the following Thursday and a formal interview 2.5 weeks later when I was hired. Let me know if you have other questions!
