I just spoke to the recruiter too she said to have the questionnaire filled out by tomorrow morning and that if selected the virtual interviews would take place this Thursday and Friday. If we're selected for final interviews it'll be 08/20. This is for acute rehab. I double checked with her, only street parking is available for staff you have to get on a waitlist for the parking garage that is offsite and requires a shuttle ride to the hospital. 

Yes, she told me the same thing! Just had virtual interview today with the unit manager for Culver City's Tele unit, and he said that they will let us know by the end of the week if we were selected for final interview 8/20. 

Anyone been contacted for med surge Hollywood for interview?

IDK if they reached out to people for Hollywood, but for those that chose Culver City they called me yesterday and said that the unit manager was doing virtual interviews today until 3pm.

Do you know if this is for tele only? I applied to acute rehab and haven't received an invite to interview from the unit manager

I'm not sure if it applied to all units. When the recruiter called me Friday she put me down for Tele, had me fill out the form, and then told me she'd call back if the unit manager was interested (didn't specify when.) I then got the call yesterday asking to do an interview, and the only date I was given was Tuesday.

Was it Rubi the recruiter? Who called you guys

I received a phone call from the recruiter that I was selected for an interview. When I spoke to her Friday she told me that there is a different recruiter handling ICU (I'm not sure about stepdown) for both locations. To my understanding, there is one recruiter handling both med/surg and tele for both locations

Yes!

Has anybody gotten a call or text for ICU virtual interview with hollywood? I was told by recruiter at hollywood the manager of ICU would try to review them by the end of this week and get back to those for a virtual interview. No specific dates though

No, but I wouldn't lose all hope yet. It's only Tuesday, and they could still be reviewing applications

I haven't heard anything yet but last week the recruiter did mention that it's the same unit manager for ICU and step-down. They told me they'd review by today and have virtual interviews this Thurs/Fri

Yes!

Can I ask how your interview went? What types of questions did they ask?

I think it went well! I was asked a few behavioral questions (no clinical scenarios.) He was super nice and it felt very conversational
