From what I've heard from my friends, the people who got interviews on April 11 were applying for ICUs. Another friend of mine who requested Peds got waitlisted by email. So the applications are definitely being processed and decisions made, we just need to be patient :)

I didn't get the assessment questionnaire either, but I did get a call from TalentPlus (accidentally missed it) and my application status says "We have contacted you for an interview". So anxious about it!!

I submitted my application at 8:30am and didn't get the assessment questionnaire. When my friend told me about it I freaked out. I called the HR and they said there's a glitch in the system and half the people who applied didn't get one. Just fyi to save you the nerve wreck I went through :) As for the processing times, they said it would be at least a couple of weeks until the start even looking at the applications. So now all we can do is wait

Thank you so much for such a detailed answer! Now I have a much better idea. It does seem quite intimidating for an inexperienced new grad, but I guess it would really depend on what kind of training/preceptorship they would get. I have a couple more questions: How often do MDs come? Do they do rounds on patients? What other personnel is involved in patient care (RT/PT/OT/Social Work)? If not, what kind of support do nurses get? I'm really interested in Geriatrics, but even on the general floor I see there's so much to do for elder patients, and can't imagine how 2 RNs would manage. But I guess it can be done!

Hey there, I've been thinking about starting at a SNF as a new grad, but I've heard a lot of different opinions on it. Can anyone explain what an RN position at a long term care facility would require in terms of skills/responsibilities as opposed to one in an acute care setting, s.a. new grad programs at hospitals?
