It was on zoom! There were a couple educators and a manager. Originally 11 people were on the zoom invite and I was freaking out LOL but only 4 people actually interviewed me so it wasn't too bad! I've heard a lot of people's statuses are changing so I'm sure you guys will hear soon!

Oh my gosh I can't even picture what an 11 person Zoom interview would look like LOL. My old floor did panel interviews like that for new grads and I always thought it must be so intimidating.

Has anyone heard back from the 4 Main Medical or 7 East Unit?

I called HR and they didn’t change my status or anything. The woman just said to check the status online

What kind of questions have been asked during interviews? For those who have already Interviewed, any suggestions on prepping?

They asked all the standard interview questions! Why do you want to work at Children's, why the NICU, what do you do for fun outside of work, what are good qualities of a NICU nurse, what's your biggest pet peeve, tell us about a time when you dealt with a difficult patient/family members, and a couple more "tell us about a time when" questions that I can't remember. I think they asked around 8-10 questions and then told me all about the residency program and all of that. I was so nervous but honestly it really wasn't too bad, and everyone who interviewed me was so nice so don't be stressed! You've got this!!

any updates?

I emailed the contact for the residency program and they said bc of COVID, they couldn’t look at apps the past couple weeks but are hoping to continue the process soon

Did you guys get the email from Jill Board last week? I got an email on Thursday saying that they weren’t moving forward with the application process but that they hoped to resume the process in the coming weeks. One of my friends that works there said that things are starting to pick up again and they aren’t asking nursing to take off so I’m hoping this will be over soon!

I got an email from HR that said the same thing but it seem like interviews are still happening for certain units so I'm confused

Anyone know of good apartments in the area?

hey guys! just wanted to update again- I got the email with my offer letter from the NICU yesterday (September 21st start date)! So I really think that things are picking back up and they'll get back to people soon, so don't worry!! If anyone has any questions about salary, benefits, etc let me know, I'm more than happy to share so you know what you'd be getting into LOL

Also @cc1234567 where are you from? I would suggest either living in Arlington (that's where I live and where most "young professionals" live- it's a little safer/nicer than DC but only a 20 min drive/a few metro stops) or pretty much anywhere in NW or NE DC. NW is typically the nicest part of DC so more expensive, but obviously safer and all of that. I've lived here my whole life so if anyone has questions or needs help with stuff like this, pm me or I can give you my number! I'm so excited for all of us!!
