I still haven't heard anything back from SMB L&D and was told they would let us know by Friday. I'm assuming this is a bad sign for me. :/ anyone else hear anything either way?!?

I actually had an interview this past week at Sharp Mary Birch for Labor and Delivery!!! I'm dying waiting to find out if I got the position or not. It is similar to Grossmont NICU where they have a panel of 6 (or 5 in my interview) and they will all go around the table and ask you questions individually. It can be pretty intimidating actually. For the L&D program at MB, they are interviewing 15 total and hiring 6-8 people they told me. I had also interviewed at Sharp Grossmont last January for their Spring new grad program but didn't have the Maternal Newborn Nursing care class at that time, so I wasn't hired. At that time they interviewed 8 and hired 4. I'm only telling you all this so you can get a feeling for how Sharp works....since I've been there done that twice now, I thought I would pass along the info as I know how interested I was to find out any info the first time or two I applied at Sharp. Also, I was told by the recruiter at Sharp they will ONLY look at your 2nd choice if the position you chose first is canceled for some reason. So, if you chose L&D first and NICU second, they will not even look at you for the NICU position since the L&D position wasn't canceled. Doesn't seem too fair to me, but that is how I was told that they do it there. Lastly, for those that were asking the pay rate. For BSN nurses, the starting pay I was told is $35.22 an hour - and this is without the night shift pay differential I am pretty certain. Hope that helps answer some questions for some of you. And good luck to all of you! :)

I applied too on July 1st and got an email with the supplemental screening form the very next day. Once I emailed it back though I got an automated response from the recruiter's email saying that the office was closed July 4-7th and will re-open on the 8th. Hopefully that helps some of you out who are wondering. Hope we hear something soon!!! Good luck everyone.
