Did you get an interview offer as well? Congrats!! We got this

Hi! I did. Congrats to you as well 🙂

I am curious how many spots are open for the unit. I imagine like 2-3 right?

That's what I was thinking. Most likely 2-3 but the more the better 😂

Hi! Im wondering if you remember how your interview was. Was it more personality based or clinical based? Thank you again

Hi there, jumping in here. I'm from Neuro ICU 2 cohorts ago (2024). The interview is definitely a mix of both, with much more emphasis on personality and less on situation-based questions (I.e. what would you do in a code stroke?). The latter wouldn't really be asked as opposed to, tell me about yourself or tell me a time you were a safe student nurse. Brush up on very broad questions and try not to get too clinical. Be yourself, smile, and ask 1-2 thoughtful questions at the end. Best of luck

Hi, refer to CNN9219's post on my tips. If you guys saw about 20 people on the list, expect about max 3 maybe even 2 people hired. I could be wrong but that's been the number if it's any less than 30+ people. Good luck

8ICU takes the most new grads compared to any other unit. I'm not from that unit but every other person I met during orientation was from 8ICU. Hopefully that means a greater chance for you. Good luck!

Ahh thank you! Do you know how the interview went for ICU? Were they mostly scenarios based?

I saw there was about 36-40 spots for interview! Should I be guessing about 4 would be hired ?

Can you provide the uniform contact number?

I don't have FB either.

I have an interview for that same location. Can you explain what they asked for interviews and how it went? Thank you
