hello, is there anyone still active here I can ask questions ? ?

hi guys, I was wondering if you have all signed the arbitration agreement?

so from what I'm understanding based on what others have told me the 'second meal period' is essentially a second 30 min lunch break, and most people waive this 'second meal' because if you don't, then you would have to stay an additional 30 mins to make up the left over time if that makes sense. So if we're 7-7:30, you would need to stay till 8 (while everyone left) since you didn't waive the 'second' 30 min break so that you can have the full 12 hours. As for the 6 hour one, I'm still unsure about that.. I'm prob going to call HR or smth on Monday to ask about how long would we have to stay late if we didn't waive it.

I was told by others to waive the 2nd meal, but I've heard mixed things about the 6hr one. oh thank goodness, thanks!

did they mention if the appointments will begin this month or August? because I still haven't gotten one of my certs and the next class isn't available until next month ?

Hello, I recently got hired at a new grad program in a children's hospital in SoCal and one of the onboarding forms is a *optional* arbitration form. I was wondering what are your thoughts on this? Should I sign it or waive it? Will there be consequences if I don't sign it? I am trying to learn more about it since this is all new, but any advice is appreciated!

Hi guys, I was wondering what the pay is like?

does anyone know how much they're going to pay?

got a job offer for the adol/neuro unit! Good luck to you all ???

I've talked w/several people who either currently work or used to work in peds at loma in various units, and the consensus was that all the managers are nice and to just be yourself, and that's very true. Before we even started the interview, they told me that they just wanted to get to know who I am and what my values are, and even straight up told me that they didn't want any rehearsed or "chatgpt-like" answer. It definitely set the tone, and it honestly felt like a casual talk with one another & I was able to make them laugh throughout the entire time because of the stories I was using to answer their Qs. I do have to say that make sure you have some stories from either your work/clinical exp and make sure you know how to expand on it. They told me that the more details the better, with a beginning/middle/end, but if you're too wordy/vague/not answering the Q, they would sometimes just zone out of the convo. IDK how other units ask Qs, but the Qs I was getting weren't like simple "tell me a time you had a conflict with a co-worker," they would actually expand the Q and were often lengthy, and sometimes I had to ask them to clarify on what they're asking. I honestly forgot some of the answers I prepared and just randomly pulled out whatever from my head ? They also never asked about what my strengths/weakness/what hospital values/mission I align with, so if you're also in that situation, I would just make sure to slide some of your strengths/values you align with into your answers.

adolescents/neuro & it was in person, it was done in a meeting room in the manager's office area

just did my interview & it went really well! I had a panel of 5, and majority of the questions were behavioral type.

When I got called, the manager of the unit I applied for told me to come in to meet with them to do a panel, and then I also got a follow-up email from him to confirm that I would be there in-person. Did the person on the phone talk more about what your next interview is going to be like? Did you get any email after ? If you're able to contact that specific person you talked with, I would clarify with them about the situation!

In person! It's going to be a panel and it's roughly 45 mins long ? never dealt with an interview that long before so I'm getting nervous LOL
