I just had my ED interview it was so short 😭😭😭😭

I'm sure you did great and hope you get it! I saw that they only had 30 min time slots. Do you mind sharing what they asked? 

howdy! For those who interviewed with the ED, did they mention anything about a 3rd interview? Will we begin hearing back next Monday like the schedule stated? I think the last cohort had 5 new grads- did they mention anything how many they are hiring? Thanks!

I interviewed for a different unit but was told we would hear back between 12/9 to 12/13. Also someone before mentioned that the CHLA instagram account posted that their cohort was 34 MedSurg, 14 ICU and 3 ED.

Good luck to everyone on their interviews this week!! I was wondering if anyone interviewed for BMT yet and how was it? 

Good luck to anyone that still needs to interview! For those that already did them, did you guys bring a copy of your resume and cover letter? Nervous for tomorrow 😫

Don't be nervous! You'll do great 🙂 Good luck!!
I brought copies of my resume but was told they all already had copies. I would bring some just in case but I doubt you'll need them even if you do bring them!

I keep seeing its mainly behavioral questions and Diversity questions, but definitely be prepared to answer WHY the unit, why chla, why peds, etc. in case they do ask. Goodluck to you!

Yeah I was told 12/9-12/13 but I guess it could be different depending on the unit? Where did you hear 12/5 from? I was told they're doing interviews from 11/25-12/5 so I wouldn't think results would come out tomorrow.
