I got a call around 2PM PST and got in! I'm elated! The interview felt so impersonal, and I felt I bombed it. I guess we are our harshest critic, because the Assistant PD had such wonderful things to say to me. It really solidified my decision.

Congrats!! @Snailmurse

Hi all! Congrats to those who received an interview! I am grateful for the opportunity, myself ? Best of luck!

Hi everyone, I wanted to update you. After submitting my on demand video July 5th, I received a call back about a second interview this AM. I think they have a lot going on with COVID and some apps are moving slower than others. Best of luck to you all!

I have not. I followed up with the recruiter but yet to hear back.

Hi there! I can’t say for sure what the process is. I can only account for my own experience. There was only a 3 day window for external applications. I received the video interview email on Friday and was told I had 72 hours to complete it. I’m not interring that those who didn’t receive an email invite by now were rejected. From my intel from other hiring managers and former employees, they receive a large volume of applicants and I theorize, are going through the apps in “cohorts”. I’m hoping that this is the case for you and those who haven’t heard back. I’m sure that you will soon and I’m wishing you the best of luck!

I applied to the Tele/DOU as an external and chose Mercy and La Jolla for my preferred locations. I completed the on demand videos last night as they were due by this morning. They could be screening them and depending on spots, send out more invites.

I submitted my app on 06/23 as an external hire and received an email on Friday instructing me to compete the on demand video interview within 72 hours. Wishing you all the best of luck!

They offer it once or twice a year at the community college in my town. Theory was once a week from 0800- 1600 and Clinical two days a week from 0630-1330. Alternatively, CNA progress are offered throughout the county at Skilled Nursing Facilities and are 8-12 weeks and the students are paid.

I would suggest reapplying if you haven’t heard anything back from them. I was waitlisted last cohort and applied again as soon as I found out. I was never informed about my position on the waitlist. If I remember correctly, NursingCas saves most of your basic information. It’s definitely trying times but keep up the hard work! It will pay off.

No problem at all! I’d be happy to help more if I can. My time is pretty slim right now as I’m preparing to move 3.5 hours north (along with all the little things I have to take care of before starting school) but I’ll do what I can. It brings me joy knowing I can help and inspire ??.

Hello there! I was accepted to the June ABSN program - San Mateo and also interviewed for the ELMSN-FNP program. I was waitlisted for the ELMSN but there’s a possibility I could get off of it due to my spot. As of now, I’ve made my deposit and submitted my letter of intent for the ABSN program. It was due by March 8th. I too was waitlisted for the ABSN - San Mateo last cohort. I believe I was high teens or lower 20s. I called and asked them what I could do to improve my chances of getting in. Even though I scored high 80s/90s on the HESI, I retook it and improved all my scores. I also did a 9 week college level CNA program to get more patient interaction while running my own business and volunteering a minimum of 4 hrs a week at a hospital. I’d encourage you to reach out to them and see what you can do to improve your chances of getting in. Best of luck and I hope this helps! Keep getting after it ??!

I remember hearing the same thing! Were you in the 10AM? I keep checking as well ?. Based on my interview experience, everyone seemed like great candidates so I’m sure they’re working hard on decisions. Wishing you the best.

I would say the best piece of advice (that was given to me) is to be the best version of yourself and don’t try to outshine others, especially if it’s a group interview. It’s important to shine AMONGST others. Try your best to remain calm and take deep breathes. Speak from the heart and know your facts about the program. I can try my best to give you more detailed suggestions if I know a little bit more about you as well as your program of choice. It sounds like the CM interview was different.
