I just finished my interview with the PICU literally just right now, and I'm so sorry but I totally forgot the questions LMFAOO. We did talk about my mistakes, how I handle stress, qualities to an ICU nurse, and why UCLA/why the PICU.

Did they mention when they would be releasing offers? I guess it's safe to assume they could come at any time now after the interview

It really just depends. I asked this question and they had told me that after they interview everyone for the PICU, they'll talk and potentially reach out on or before December 8. I do think we'll hear back prior to December 8. The question really is will it be at the end of this week, next week, or the week after

HII thank you for coming back to share and I hope it went well for you! Do you happen to remember approx how many questions they asked and how many people interviewed you? Any curveball questions?

Not really. None of the questions were difficult, just sharing my input and what-not

SM means Santa Monica. I think when you look up SM 5MN on Google it'll show you what unit it is. It looks like its intermediate care unit.

OMG for 5W right?!? how was it? any feedback/questions will help ??

Yes for 5W! It was good none of the questions surprised me it was all behavioral questions. The only thing that surprised me was they had said only 3 people were going to interview me and there was 6 people!

Congratulations to everyone who has received an invitation to interview. I received mine this afternoon for SM5NW (Geriatrics). Does anyone happen to know the culture of that unit? I know I can ask during the interview, but I am hoping to hear from someone who works there as a nurse not as a manager. Also, does anyone know how much we pay for monthly parking and/or union dues? Thanks guys and good luck!

Did you do your interview yet? I also got an interview for that unit and have no clue of the culture of the unit. I'd appreciate your input regarding the interview if youve done it already
