Congratulations to those who have finished their interview! Wow! You guys jumped on picking the first available slots. By the time I picked mine, there were only a few left on the very last day (11/17) so, I am interviewing until then. Thank you to those who are sharing their experiences. I'm not sure what to think as they seem to be all different, but it does help knowing that (so far) there are no clinical scenarios. Thanks again everyone! Good luck to those who are interviewing tomorrow and the rest of this week! I'll continue praying for now ?

If you get ICU interview expect clinical scenarios, in my opinion!!

Wow I'm surprised by the differences in our interview experiences. I used the full 20 min answering their questions. I was asked 7, with the first one as a combo on why nursing / why ucla / why ED wrapped up all in one (felt long!)

I think brevity is an asset. So concise responses on your part is a good move & can make you more memorable. Best of luck to you ?

Good luck to you too! And thanks so much& hopefully with my 7min interview I made an impression ?! Will see if I made the cut! They said by Dec 8th they should be sending out letter offers.

Good luck! Which unit are you interviewing with? I have an interview with their Ortho unit and I'm not sure what to expect.
