I do recall one scenario question. Kinda what you would do if so and so but nothing clinical. Which I was nervous about because I didn't feel prepared for clinical questions but good thing they didn't ask that LOL

OK, yay, I am not prepared for any clinical type questions either, unless it's diabetes LOL. I will let you know how it goes! 

Just finished my interview with CTICU and it was so short. I do not feel good about it 😭

I just finished! The situational ones kind of threw me off. Like when was a time you had to make a difficult decision and it was your responsibility... But I think I did good on all the other questions, I saw a few A, B, C on the grading thing they use so IDK. My interview was also kind of short, only 20 minutes. They told me they will get back to us in a few weeks

Same I was shocked at how soon it was over LOL. I asked about hearing back and they were kind of vague they said they have to wait until all the units have made their decisions? So they didn't even give me an estimate.
