Hello,

Hmm...I had an agent do them (at an agency I paid to submit prints), but I am under the impression if you do them by yourself at home, that you are to sign yourself.
Where I work we make half of our regular pay for call and 1.5 for the first call of the week. The second and more is 2x. After reading all these posts I feel very lucky!
Wow, I am sorry this is happening to you! I hate to say this, but my fingerprints were rejected for bad quality and it took some time for them to notify me. I don't know if this is the case, but I didn't have to pay the place that took my fingerprint...

Hi, sorry for the delayed response...was travelling to Seattle for OR interview. To answer a few questions, I recieved both a phone call and email from the recruiter for the floor job. If they like me, a second interview will be scheduled late July/e...
Hi Cyclone67/Coug_nurse, I just heard back regarding my November floor residency last Friday and had my phone interview yesterday. It was very quick; apparently they do not know (yet) which departments have placements for November, although the recru...
Hello BrittanyAlyson13, I applied to the OR residency for September 2017 and am going to do my first panel interview next week for it. Already did my phone interview...
Hi, I applied to Swedish for the September OR consortium in mid May, had a phone interview in early June and am now being scheduled for the in-person interview (neuro-surgery) sometime in the next two weeks...I would love to hear any advice/comments!...
Thank you for the response and advice, the more the better! I have tried to do my research on proper attire, etiquette, and to not "throw anyone under the bus"...so far I have gotten encouraging responses from those that have interviewed me, but it's...
