I would say the interviews are pretty on point to what K's email depicts. I think for all there are 3 other candidates and then a unit manager from each unit with the interview being "moderated" by an educator of some sort. The managers briefly introduce themselves and then there are 4 questions, each candidate rotates going first, you'll each answer the same questions. There wasn't any time for questions in my first interview. The second interviews varied A LOT from unit to unit, so don't psych yourself out. (Some people had clinical scenarios, some didn't have any, some were in depth- one candidate with the managers, some were very similar to the first interview- 4 candidates with the managers, etc).

I just want to give a little insight to the interview process! Last cohort, it seemed like the majority of interview invites were sent out within a week and then there were some people who didn't get an interview offer until like 1 week before interviews. In these cases, these people got an offer to their second choice specialty (ie put ICU first, got an interview invite for surg). The first interview will be for all the units of the "specialty" you're interviewing under. Ex. if you're interviewing under "Medical" you will interview with the 8(close to this #) Medical units and then would be called for a second interview with one specific unit if you make it through. There are many more Medical and Surgical units than ICU and Oncology units, so more people will interview for those, and more will be hired onto those units.

It was an email from K. It’s a “soft offer” since it’s contingent on background check and occupational health physical. I have a few friends that got verbal offers from managers and have yet to get an email, so I think it’s gonna be a trickle!

I just got an email with my offer!! Hope you all find out soon!

I’m not sure, but from this forum it sounds like some managers weren’t going to call even the candidates that got the position? So I would think the list is final but not everyone on that list knows yet?

K posted on a facebook story that the list of new grad RNs has been finalized and to stay tuned for further updates this week!

Woohoo @sgriffith! I agree, until I see the offer in writing I won't be able to fully celebrate.

Mine was the exact same as the first interview, 3 other candidates and 5 behavioral questions. Only difference was there was time for questions LOL. I have heard LOTS of differences between second interviews

Does anyone know how many spots are available for each unit? Thanks!

Thanks guys!! Neuro/Med ICU

I had my interview this AM, they told us we'd hear by Monday and I got a call this afternoon that I got the job!

Thanks @vBSN! I will be interviewing for Neuro/med ICU, I got a call last night. I know our interviews won’t be the same but I hope that it is more informal/less stressful haha.

Do you think it's okay if I integrate their clinical hours table in my resume, or should I upload it as a separate file? Thanks.

Yep it was my first pick! And it was an email from a recruiter.

I got an email at 6:30 pm that I have an interview for Critical Care/ICU!

I noticed my docs "disappeared" 2 days after I applied, I don't think it's anything to worry about! My status date changed to 4/8 and still says "application in review."

Unfortunately just got an email that I didn’t get the job. CONGRATS to you though, best of luck in the program!

Still no word! I would really like an update, but I'm trying to be patient LOL.

Hey all, I had an interview Monday, 3/9 (not sure it went all that well...). Has anyone heard back from the recruiter or know how many spots are available? She said I'd hear at the beginning of this week. I'm anxiously waiting, but also know they must be busy with COVID19.

Wanida, I am in ABSN in San Mateo and you need a physical within 6 months of starting the program. They give more information at Kick off and they don’t REALLY need it until before clinicals. But best to get it out of the way. I went to my PCP and she just put “did not check” for genetalia and it seems to have been just fine.

Sorry to all that got denied I wish you the best for the April start for San Mateo or June for the others. I was accepted to the San Mateo program and I hope my stats help you for next cycle. Last 60 GPA - ~3.35 Science Prereq - 4.0 HESI - 98% I had an full-time summer internship in an ED when I was in college and now I have been working as a Youth Director. My passion is working with youth and kids(hopefully pediatric nurse of some type), so maybe that looked good that I had experience with the age range? I got two letters of rec from A&P professors that I knew pretty well. I had two classes in progress when I submitted, but I updated my NursingCAS with those grades by August. Good luck to you all in the future!!

I got in on 8/3 and I only recieved the preliminary review email back in July(7/26). I also did not apply for the ELMSN program.

I'm in at ABSN San Mateo!! I got an acceptance email at 7 AM PST and a preliminary financial aid package email at 7:40 AM PST, but no email about access instructions for my login. Anyone else that's been accepted still waiting on the login email?
