Congrats to those who have received offers! Would anyone who has received an offer mind sharing the pay rate for new grads?

Does anyone know if they're done with calls for PICU? My account status is still under review and I just want to move on from this, whether it's an acceptance or a rejection🥹

OMG same here my anxiety is sooo bad!! I want to remain hopeful but it's really hard 

Does anyone know if they're also done with NICU calls? Trying to stay positive and not lose hope 🥲

For Sept 2024 cohort they said most units accept about 4 students total :( so they probably did call everyone on Tuesday. Don't lose hope though! They could be accepting more this round.

Sept 2024 cohort thread shared PICU base pay is $44.17/hr for the first 8hrs then time and a half. Plus differentials for night shift, weekends, and evening shift. I think I read NICU pay was around $34/hr but that was for 2019 I think (I saw it on a previous thread a month ago). So it should've gone up by now for 2025. Each unit pays different I believe though. Hope this helps. :) 

Congrats to those who have received offers! Has anyone heard back from 5E?

I feel you! I haven't seen anyone get called by CTICU or cross train, and I highly doubt that not one person got a call back from them in this thread🥲

I feel like CTICU and cross train didn't do call backs yet :// since no one heard back from them. Plus they were one of the last to interview too! So hopefully by tomorrow one of us hears back 🥲 this anxiety needs to end 

did anyone ever hear back from 6 East?

I have not 😞 IDK if they've given calls or not 

I just got a call from NICU! They're still making decisions, keeping my fingers crossed for all of you! 🙂
