Oh! What did they ask you? More interview questions? 

She asked about where I work, and they asked me about my duties as an urgent care LVN,  and additional situational questions with angry patients, pretty much questions about patient care.  

Got an email today and was asked to schedule an appointment t with the recruiter next Monday.  I think that's promising.

That's great! I for some reason thought they were choosing someone today. But that does sound promising.

Congrats! Which unit? Do you know how many openings there are? I interviewed too but haven't gotten a call yet

Hi, I think it was ortho, tele/med-surg but I'm not actually too sure LOL I couldn't really hear what she was saying but they just sent me an email to set up a call to go over the offer. They never mentioned how many ppl or the pay :(

Has anyone heard back from San Marcos location ? 

Today is the last day to hear from Riverside. 

Just to update folks, I officially got an offer for Downey Night Shift.  Base pay $55.78, and night differential is $4.50, 

Nice! Congrats! Ugh I wish I could nights but it's just not in me.

Thank you so much, I have no choice it's the only spot they have haha, but yeah they said that as soon as I get 1 year I can take the classes to transition to a different position or apply to a different position. I can do anything for 1 year, do the bedside for one year then find a way to transition to outpatient clinical setting later on, so one step closer.  Can't believe that there were 1600 applicants this cohort.

I had my interview on the 7th, should I send an email to get an update? I wanted to give them more time (and not bug) since we got that mass email that interviews are being held up until the 14th and decisions will be made by the end of February but now I'm getting anxious..

Bug them. If you're interested in the job, that's a way to let it be known. 

Specializes in ER.

congrats!! I accepted my offer from Panorama City today. Night shift DOU. Pay is about the same as yours. All things considered, the pay is better than any other offers I had, PLUS their benefits are unbeatable. 

AND DAMN! 1600 applicants! they told me today that this unit was the only critical care unit that were accepting new grads at this hospital. I feel so fortunate

Congrats again!
