They had a dream day scheduled for this week, but according to the nurse recruiter it has been cancelled. I applied for this position sometime in march though, so its been up there for a while. Still hoping on a call back from them

I applied back in February and never heard anything from them. I have pretty much just given up.

UPDATE:

Just got an email from them asking me to come in for an interview. Looks like they have about 6 or 7 days in June for new grads to come in to interview.

Anyone else hear anything?

I got an e-mail for an interview as well, but haven't gotten a confirmation e-mail yet on the exact time. I live in MI and have a license there. Graduated in 2009, but haven't managed to get a year in at a hospital, so this opportunity would be fantastic.

Anyone have any information on the interview itself?

Same here. I got an email with about 6 dates to choose from throughout the month of June. I was supposed to receive an email with more info about the actual interview itself once i RSVP'd to the invite for the interview. I havent gotten anything back yet. Maybe coz of the long weekend. Still waiting. Are you guys all licensed already and out of state? Have you guys started working on getting a DC license? (I'm from Ohio and havent taken nclex yet, still waiting for my att from the ohio bon, hopefully that wont be an issue in case the interview goes well with whc).

Anyone else got an invite to interview?

I really wish they would give a confirmation on the interview, so that those of use who live out of state can make reservations as far as travel and accommodation go.

I also received the interview email ! I am taking DC boards at the end of June. I live in Northern VA. I have not received the confirmation email either. Curious why you would come from out of state for this job?

The job market for new grad nurses is horrible, so one has to be willing to relocate in order to find a job in some cases.

I guess it makes me feel better than others haven't received the confirmation e-mail, but it is a bit ridiculous that they wanted a response within 48 hours, yet we are less than a week away from the first interview date without hearing anything further.

I am seeing what you mean about the job thing. I am an LPN of 14 years and had a job lined up inPA, and then my husband relocated us to northern VA. I have been Applying for 2 months now. I hope I get an interview, then I guess the next step is figuring out the commute. The traffic is horrible here. It is so bad that I am considering taking an lpn job closer to here and waiting for closer RN job to surface. waiting so long to become an RN, an yet again another set back. Good luck!
