Finished my Psych interview. I was really nervous and don't feel confident 🥺. For anyone wondering, they are hiring 2 new grads per unit and we should find out quickly. Best of luck of everyone. This process has been a journey. 🙏🏽

Hi thanks for this info. Hoping you did better than you think. Who told you about only hiring 2 people per unit? Only wondering because I had two interviews and one had about 26 interview slots, and the other only like 10. I wonder why they would hire 2 people per unit, but interview more than twice the applicants in a diff unit.

No, just try and maintain your composure. They didn't ask any tricky questions. I was kind all over the place so I don't feel confident. Hoping for the best.

Thank you for that! I am unsure about other units. But for Psych they told me they are hiring 2 per unit. So 4 new grads total for Adult/Geri Psych.
