Congratulations!! Did you receive a phone call for the offer? Also, how long did it take for you to receive an offer after you interviewed?

Hi! I was wondering if you started your orientation yet, and if you have, can you give insight as to what the training is like and how long it takes? Thank you!

Hi! I did a med Surg interview last month, the interview was 30 min long and they asked me why wanted to work there, to describe my current job etc, then the last 15 minutes of the interview she was describing what the program was like. I got an offer about a week later after that

This was for Habor UCLA, they didn't really ask me any clinical scenarios so I think you might be good on that

@Happynurseeee Hi! Have you heard back or received anything regarding your health clearance?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Hello there, 

I heard back about a week after I went for my health clearance, They called me from employee health and said that I was cleared and to wait from HR for next steps. I didn't hear back til about 2 weeks after from my recruiter and he said that I need to wait til HR contacts me by email for my intake processing information. He also mentioned that I will be in the May cohort. It has been over 3 weeks since I spoke with my recruiter and so far nada.  Has anyone else heard from HR about the intake information?
