How long has it been since you submitted references? For my second interview, I didn't hear back until exactly 2 weeks after. Because I had already submitted references for the first unit, I didn't have to resubmit them.
I didn't do anything differently for my second interview. In fact, my first interview went incredibly well and just the way I wanted it to. I walked out feeling very confident. I didn't get it because the other candidates had experience. I have no hospital experience. Never even been to the hospital for clinicals either.
After the second interview, I felt like I didn't get it. Just thought my answers weren't good enough.
I graduated in May btw and it took me until November to land a job. I was losing patience at one point and thought that it doesn't matter if I work at a hospital that's not Magnet, that I should just accept any job. I changed my mind later on and no longer wanted to settle.
NYP just hired A BUNCH of nurses right now so you might have to wait.

I did all my clinicals with them, and still am in application purgatory and assuming nothing will move forward. Very frustrating to be a new grad, thought this year might be better for it.
NYP is incredibly weird with the hiring decisions. Like I have no hospital-related experience, no clinicals (they were all online) and they still took me in. I do have pharm tech experience and I worked at a dentist office before though.
Try to keep your chin up. I also broke down two times while applying for jobs because it was so frustrating not hearing back from anyone. Affected my self-esteem a lot too. So trust me, I've been there. In my case, it took a lot of patience to get this

Thank you for the support. To my surprise I just got an offer for a job I really, really wanted (at NYP's main competitor) this morning and accepted. Very happy and relieved in a way I have been waiting for a long time.
Graduating and passing the NCLEX are great, but *this* is when I finally have that "OK, I did it" feeling that I can celebrate. Good luck w your job as well ?

OMG congratulations!! So happy for you and I'm not sure who their competitor is but is it NYU or Mount Sinai? Good luck with your job as well ?

Here's a timeline of the past month
October 3 - Getting to know you assessment
October 5 - Interview with recruiter and hiring manager, PCD and nurse clinician
October 7 - Email about references were sent to me and I submitted all my references 1 hour after receiving
October 9 - All my references completed their surveys
October 18 - Reached out to recruiter about an update but told me that she told her colleague to update me about the outcome. Haven't heard from this colleague at all
I've been extremely anxious/on edge for the past few weeks since the references and I'm dying to know whether or not I got the job. Online, my application still says assessment/references. I don't know what else I can do besides continue to wait for a response. My friend got an offer at a different NYP campus a day after his references submitted surveys. I know someone else at the same campus who interviewed the same day as I did and they already got hired.
Advice?
