2024 SCVMC New Grad/Clinical Nurse I

Published

I wanted to start a thread for 2024. I've only seen from previous years. So we can all know how it is all progressing. 

 

I applied for all 3 Clinical Nurse I. 

 

So far I've received two emails one

04/9/24 Progressive Care: email said I was a finalist but no ranking. Supposedly this is better than receiving a rank. 

 

04/10/24 Critical Care: I actually received a rank and a score. 

Got my ranking today, and it seems far too low to be considered at this point, even though I got a score of 77%. Any insight on rank vs. score and how that affects interview chances?

Also, does anyone who got a score of 90%+ mind sharing their stats? I'm not sure what else I could do to get that score up.

I feel like it's mixed, I've read posts that even in the 100's ranking you can still get called but that depends on the hiring manager.

I know for sure if you're top 10 you'll def get a follow up email/ call 😩 

anyone wants to share their ranking? I ranked 110/ 88% ...

That's amazing! I ranked 417 score 82%. No chance I am getting called. LOL 😂

Honestly if you have those exact qualifiers from the questions they ask that's how your ranking moves up. Like exact tech/Pct experience, preceptorship, degree, work experience (even though it's an entry level job 🫠) 

My past rankings were in the high 200's without any RN experience.

Hi all! I'm at 80%/523. A little disheartening but I do appreciate knowing where I land on the list. Do they do this for every application? Can your rank change? I'm curious what happens next? Good luck everyone!

If they consider 10-30 people per 1 vacancy, then I wonder how many vacancies there are? If there were like 10 spots, then I would think they'd consider a lot more than 30 people. If I'm understanding what they're saying correctly. Anyone on the top 100 list, I'm rooting for you! LOL

I heard most of the ICU interview invites went out this week. But they usually take walk-ins at the job fair for people who submitted an application! Not 100% sure if it'll be the same this time around but if you applied and didn't get an interview invite, I would still try to walk-in that day.
