For anyone applying in the future, I am happy to answer any questions. The notification system on this forum leaves something to be desired, so either PM me or make another post.

I have not received anything either.

As someone who has sat on interview boards, all previous healthcare positions were expected to be listed. Maybe this was an institutional policy? Everyone looks at different things, but I would certainly be interested in why someone left a job during orientation. Why did they leave? Do they have unrealistic expectations? Do they understand the nature of the position being applied for? Is there a high chance they may leave again within the first year? These would be some of my questions/concerns. They may have quit on the first day, but the fact remains the position was filled. They likely stopped accepting applications from other potential candidates, money was spent on administrative work, and decisions for the future may have been made based on the number of expected employees at a given time. I am not saying I wouldn't hire them, and unless this is part of a larger pattern, it will not have a long-term impact on the OP's future career; however, I disagree about it being insignificant. Just my two cents.

Of course, a person does not put on their resume; I was being a bit facetious. However, most places require a detailed employment history, especially past healthcare positions. Not reporting past employment, regardless of how long someone worked there, is grounds for termination. This recently happened to a nurse I knew. She accepted the position and failed the background check for not reporting a past position. From what I understand, it was an honest mistake, though I do not know the exact circumstances. Personally, I would raise an eyebrow if someone applying for a position left their previous job during orientation. All things being equal, it could be the deciding factor between candidates.

It will certainly look great on their resume.

I would contact (PLEASE DO NOT POST NAMES OF THOSE IN YOUR PROGRAM PER TOS), she is the administrative assistant for the program.

I have 4 years experience working at a nationally recognized Trauma 1 hospital in the CVSICU. My GPA is 3.8, have taken Chem 1&2, O-chem 1&2 and Biochemistry, have academic research experience, was a TA for anatomy, physiology, and several chemistry courses, I am a preceptor, teach orientation classes, and earned the CCRN and CSC certifications. I have also served on a couple of committees and quality improvement initiatives.

I was accepted on Friday as well. Oddly enough, I was not asked any medical questions. It was more of a get to know me type of interview.

I received an interview off on Friday.
