I’m a soon to be grad (May 2021), and have applied to 3 jobs over break to relieve that burden during my last semester of nursing school. How long can I expect to wait to hear back from the hiring institution (if at all)? Thanks!

Oops! Duplicate reply.
Totally random, as with hiring in most non-seasonal professions. I once got an interview and hardcopy job offer 2 days after applying (I loved that job, BTW) but otherwise totally random. I have gotten calls 6 months after applying, though usually I would just get an automated "requisition closed" email a few months later. Typically I'd find out from friends (or here!) when some people got interviews when I had not heard anything myself.
For a new grad, typically a large facility will have hire a cohort all at once with group orientation, etc. Calls go out around the same time. People post about it here.
