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

OMG!! Congratulations!! 🎉

Today should be the last day to get any type of response right?

Has anyone heard back from 5E, 6E, 6W, BMT, CTICU, Heart Cross Train, or Float Pool? I have yet to see anyone mention that they have received a call from those units anytime this week (or even a rejection email/application status change). I think the other units have called at least one person (if not all). Not sure how long offers will be going out. They only confirmed that offers will START December 9th (if we go based on the timeline mentioned in the info session).

Seems like Friday is usually the last day they send out offers based on previous cohorts :(( Has anyone tried contacting them? I don't even know who to ask

They've sent out all their offers. If you didn't hear back check your email. They've been sending out rejection letters too 😞

how do you know? I'm not hopeful, but I'm surprised that no one on here has heard back from several of the units

That's what I was thinking too, but I'm choosing to remain hopeful. No status change to my application (still under review since 11/18) and I've been checking my inbox and spam all week.

So is it over? I just had a breakdown and ready to forget about it😭😂

honestly, im not sure. I also think it is really weird that no one in this forum heard from those specific units. if anyone hears back next week just still keep us updated whether it is a rejection or an offer!

:((( Keep hope alive until you receive a rejection email and/or status update.

Who knows honestly. 😞 I hope not. Still haven't gotten a status update or email, so I'm still hoping they'll call ❤️ 

I emailed the HR lady last night and she told me that it's not in her hands but it's up to the recruiters to send offers and updates! I've been having a breakdown this whole week and have been checking nonstop 😞 I would just like to move on at this point
