Ahh so excited for you!! They called mid-afternoon when I got the offer! Let me know when you find out! ?

I heard back two days later but they had told me to expect to hear within 1-2 weeks. They also mentioned that it really depended on the interview schedule of the unit, if that's helpful!

The questions are all behavioral/situational, meaning "tell me about a time that ___" or "give me an example of a situation in which ___." The career center at my school had a great list of the most common nursing questions so I prepped answers to all of them and felt very prepared! I would definitely take time to come up with and practice responses since it requires remembering some specific situations/anecdotes. No specific knowledge was required for me, but definitely ask lots of questions during the shadow to learn more about what you're seeing! I think the NICU residency is 16 weeks, if I remember correctly. Good luck, I know you'll do great!! ?

I definitely wouldn't worry! It's still so early, and I know each unit truly moves at a different pace regarding hiring! You got this!

Thank you so much! I'll be in the Egleston NICU ?

I did a phone screen with the recruiter in early January. She told me she would be sending my information to the unit for an interview/shadow and it was officially confirmed later that week! They actually just called with an offer so I am super excited! I hope we all end up as coworkers ?

I also recently interviewed and shadowed. Hopefully we'll hear back soon! Good luck to everyone! ?
