I am in the same boat. I applied for my position in August 2019! for APRN position home based primary care. Interviewed in October x2, references called in November. Then I was ghosted by HR. later there was a massive federal government shut down for several months last year. Then in May 2nd 2020 I got a email asking if I was still interested. then weeks later I was finally sent credentialing Vetpro/equip, physical drug test etc in June. My packet was suppose to be sent to the credentialing boarding last week but I haven't heard anything yet, the contact person has been on vacation. Its just frustrating because I have to give 3 months notice to my current employer and given the current economic climate I can't risk giving notice before a final offer is given. I am just afraid that this job will just disappear. So the start date won't be until dec/January at this rate. Also I still don't know what I will be rated grade and step, that is another board to determine.

I also received my finalist email last friday evening! I am not going to lie reading over the penalties I could potentially incur from breaking the contract was scary (pay it all back + interest+ 75000 a month per month of broken contract)! Good thing I am planning to stay at my job for that long.

Northeast too. HR told me it takes 4 weeks but I applied and was responded by email to two days later, I received the license in the mail by the next week. This was a couple weeks ago.
