I Interviewed with the Neuro ICU today and do not know how to feel. I had practiced some personality/behavioral questions, but I feel like some threw me off today 😞 a little bummed. Anybody who interviewed Neuro feel the same? Trying to bond over this LOL. Also, anybody know how many they are hiring?

I interviewed for the ER and felt like I couldn't read their vibe. I feel kind of up in the air about it. But just send a thank you email and keep pushing. Cedars opened and other places will open soon. It's not over until they say it is you just may have done better than you thought

did you guys include GPA in your applications? is GPA important?

I didn't include my GPA and I was able to get interviews. I also haven't been asked about my grades for UCLA's new grad program during the interviews

I was only contacted for a 2nd interview for NICU not Medsurg. Not every unit does 2nd interviews

Thank you for the clarification. I interviewed for Oncology today and they never mentioned anything about a 2nd interview. I guess I will have to wait until the application updates by Mid-December to know if I got the position...

I'm guessing I didn't get an interview since mine says under review 😕

Mine also says in review with no interview. I called to ask and was told that as long as it shows in review we still have a chance. They just have so many applicants.
