Yes! Well first the recruiter called me and set up the interviews. She also offered me interviews for positions I didn't apply for but I figured why not. I interviewed with 2 floors so a total of 5 units. So the one floor I did one interview with 5 unit managers and same thing with the floor above. Some questions that caught me off guard were "what's the last act of kindness you did" and a clinical questions asking me to explain the process of a patient in A. Fib RVR for a progressive cardiac unit. All other questions were pretty typical for any interview. Anyway- after the interviews all the unit managers met with each other and decided who they wanted (this is likely different at other facilities) after that the recruiter called me with what floors were interested in having me come shadow. When I shadowed, all I did was pair up with someone and they showed me the floor, had me greet other staff members and kinda talked about what a typical day/night looked like for them. I personally didn't have a peer interview, but I know people who have. After the shadow which I did over two nights on the 5 units, I waited 3 days and the recruiter called back and told me 4 of the units had offered me a position and explained all the pay, benefits, hours, and the process from then on. I called back the next day and accepted. Don't expect to start all that soon after you accept a job, there's a lot of paperwork, and other testing. I just started yesterday after accepting the position July 19th. Hope that was helpful! I know all facilities run a little different, this was just my experience. ? Good luck!

Hey everybody, I just recently graduated and passed my NCLEX. I applied for one position at a hospital and I ended up interviewing for 6 different units. So I interviewed on Tuesday, Friday they had me come in to shadow 5 of the units. ( I did several clinicals and had my preceptorship there and many of the unit managers knew me) And now it's Tuesday the next week. I've been talking to my preceptor who works on one of the floors and she said I should be expecting an offer today. How would the offers work? Are they going to call? Email? Call me into the hospital to talk about it? And then after I've accepted an offer what's the path from there generally. New to having a big kid job and I just don't really know what to expect! Also I'm between 2 units, i imagine they won't offer at the same time so can I ask for 24 hours to think about it? Or whats the etiquette on that. Thanks! ?

Yeah I called and they told me because of my birth date, month and year I just got unlucky. ?

But my friends who have similar last names or are close in the alphabet still have 2 years on their license. I understand they do it by birthday but this seems like a scam to have mine randomly be 6 months to expire. Nursing school and the NCLEX were expensive enough, come on. ?

Hi everybody, I just passed my NCLEX in Maryland and received my license number 3 days after taking it. Which I thought was odd since a lot of my friends who had taken it last week haven't gotten theirs license numbers yet. But issue date is 6/14/2019 and expiration is 12/28/2019, none of my friends that have gotten their licenses have this problem, they're all 2 years. So should I be concerned? Should I wait a week and see if it was a typo or something? Or call and get this figured out.
