I did get a job, not with CMC though! I had one interview with Pineville ICU and never heard back, and then received an email not too long ago from their new grad center asking if I wanted them to keep sending out my application to other units but I said no!

That's interesting! I had another interview at the same hospital but different unit the next day (yesterday) and that manager also told me she would reach out to HR and that I should hear from them later this week maybe, so I feel a little better. The first manager from monday said something about background checks and all that so I'm assuming the reference check is mixed in with that as well. Can you tell me more about that? Did they email you telling you they were doing a reference check or what?

Thanks for that! This is just one regional hospital so no huge medical system or anything. 2 weeks still seems like forever though

ohh yeah i did apply there! i had one interview for the ICU at pineville at like the beginning of february and never heard back:/

wait, how do you know which hospitals i applied to?! hahah this is for caromont!

oh man, i couldn't imagine. this makes me even more anxious because the manager TOLD me i had the job and that HR just needs to contact me with the formal offer. so until they call i'll probably just assume the worst and think they forgot about me haha

how long would you say would be normal? like a week?

thank you!!! :)

weeks?! oh there's no way i can wait that long. did you not call and question it?

I'm being super impatient, I know, but I just had a phone interview with the nurse manager of a unit and she told me she would go ahead and reach out to HR and have them make an offer so that I'll have a job! It's been a little over an hour (impatient lol)... is this a call I should expect today or within a couple days orrrr? I'm just REALLY EXCITED!!

Hi! I realize this post is over a year old, but I've actually got a "6 panel interview" coming up with St. Luke's and I'm assuming it'll be like this. I was wondering if you had any advice on what I should expect? Interviews are terrifying to me and it's really hard for me to think of quick answers when I don't know what will be asked!! :/ I guess I just want to know if they throw any curve balls in there or were all the questions pretty much expected? Any advice is appreciated!!

Thanks, I realize this. I try to make it very clear (whether over the phone or in my cover letter) that I plan to relocate permanently so they won't think that I will want to leave after a few years.

Many hospitals will have already filled their positions by the time I will take my NCLEX. That's why I'm trying to land a job before I graduate :/

Thanks for the advice, Sour lemon! All of the places I've applied to, this one included, are specifically for nursing students graduating in May, and many of them have application deadlines and hiring timelines (just not this one), so I was assuming the recruiters/hiring managers would know that those of us applying do not yet have our license or much experience.

I am graduating this May and have been applying to jobs constantly. I had one interview with a nurse manager on an ICU floor, but it was over skype (I live in Texas, she lives in North Carolina), and it was short and rushed. I'm not worried about getting that job. It was my very first interview, could've gone better, and now I feel more prepared for the next. I really want to work at this one hospital though, and I've applied but there is nothing on the website about the hiring process/timeline. The senior recruiters contact information is posted so I have called twice stating my name, reason for calling, and my number to reach me. No calls. I also have a LinkedIn account though and have found her and several other recruiters for this hospital. Would it be appropriate to try and connect with one of them? If so, what should I send? I don't want to be annoying and end up being blocked, but I also want them to know how badly I would like to work for them. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
