I've had background checks at 2 of my 3 jobs so I don't think it is unusual. FWIW it can take months to get from the interview to orientation. Not saying you should put all your eggs in this basket just that in my experience it isn't odd. Good luck.

Calm down & learn to use your shift key! LOL

Seriously, healthcare organizations have to do extensive background checks in order to meet Federal requirements. These are normally conducted by a 3rd party who specializes in providing this service. The time requirement can vary depending on the expertise & resources of the company that is doing them. It'll be Ok in the end.

Don't freak. I know it's hard but they are just going trough the process. You will start with the next round of orientees. Be grateful for the job it sounds tough out there. I'd just be patient.
