Don't know for sure, but I believe it means you are slated for the position :)

STATUS: I had an interview for Memorial MedSurg Monday (7/23) and received an email today (7/26) for a reference check. yay! BACKGROUND: I applied to 2 floors. This is my second time applying. The last round I interviewed for a very competitive floor and didn't get the job. I have worked on a MedSurg floor at Sharp Memorial for a year now. Sharp definitely hires most people who have either been CNAs on the floor for >1 year and new grads who had preceptorships at Sharp. INTERVIEW TIPS: have stories/scenarios prepared. Typical questions are "tell us why you got into nursing and what challenges you had along the way." "Tell us about....... receiving critical feedback, being in a leadership role, an ethical dilema" etc. Look back through care plans and think about all your clinical experiences so you can draw from them. Also, when they ask "do you have any questions for us" at the end, consider asking questions like: "Tell me what an exemplary nurse looks like on your floor/unit" or "What kind of unique resources do you have on your floor/unit". I think it shows you care more than just when/if you will get the job. Hope this helps, and thanks everyone for sharing!

I can totally empathize with your situation and I'm so sorry you feel this way. I have been in jobs where I have felt like I wanted sooooo badly to leave. But as the prior commenter stated, it's important to stick it out. 1 year is doable and beats out the potential repercussion of leaving. Avoid burning bridges. You can still learn a lot in a job, even one you might feel like you hate. Fake it till you make it. YOU CAN DO THIS â¤ï¸

I got accepted as well!!! I'm pretty sure we can defer up to a year--I asked in the past.

I applied to cohort 46. My GPA is 3.85, TEAS score 82% which i was OK with because I didn't study as much as I should have (basically 1 week of cramming). I expect very high score on essay. How did everyone else do with their GPA and TEAS who applied? excited!!
