Nope I haven’t heard from them or heard of anyone hearing from them. At this point I’m screaming “liar” to HCA like khloe kardashian screamed in that one episode on KUWTK.

? It’s insane. Interviews were on the 3rd, I can’t comprehend what’s taking so long. They already pushed dates back now. I can imagine some candidates probably started looking elsewhere.

I applied so late because I honestly wasn’t even considering HCA. I work for them now and I’m not super happy. So I got an interview spot for a tele/med surg in I don’t even remember what city, and one for ICU at same location but ICU ghosted me when it was time for the interview

Oh okay gotcha! And honestly after they pushed back interviews by 2 months and now are making us wait to hear back after the fact they had all this time to get their stuff in order?? It doesn’t look good on them at all. I have told multiple of my friends about this situation and they keep saying “do you even want to work for them anymore? Bc it seems like they’re a mess” ?

I work for HCA as well and wasn’t planning on working for them as a nurse buuuuut it’s my only option at this point ? I guess I should start applying for the next cohort as well

Thank you for this info! I’m a little restricted on where I can even apply because of my ADN, sadly

Yupppp I’ve already started scheduling interviews for fall cuz this cohort isn’t looking good for me. 3.9gpa.... passed NCLEX.... great LORs... volunteer experience.. previous bachelor’s degree in biology.. and I’m 25. Can’t even get a med surg position in Houston. SO competitive.

YESS! you and I are the exact same. I cannot believe this is how things have turned out. Not even that it's competitive, there are just no more jobs or available jobs anymore because of COVID. Hospitals have acquired a ton of debt and are not able to hire.

Anyone hear from HCA?. It’s been 10 days since June 8th she said. I know she said it might take 2 weeks from June 8th. Just wondering if anyone got offers yet?

The recruiter did send an email last Friday where she said that they are extending the period to hear back to TWO more weeks. So instead of June 19th like it was originally supposed to be, it is now until July 3rd. I'm going crazy too y'all! I check my email multiple times a day waiting to hopefully see an email from them and nothing?

I did! Nothing different than the usual interview. A few questions, then they ask if you have any questions. Good luck! I hope we both get hired ?

Thank you!! Good luck! I hope so too! Did they say when you’d hear back? I’m guessing next week?
