I am too! I'm an internal applicant, last name starts with O. I applied for PICU and NICU.

Status is still "submitted". I'm internal, last name starts with "m" and I applied to NICU and perinatal.  
 

I wonder if they're processing internal applicants last ?

Hi, I wonder that too. Have you applied before, or is this your first time? I'm internal last name M OR. I hope we hear something soon

No it's my first time applying - I have friends from my graduating class that started in the last cohort and were also internal applicants. But they already knew their units wanted to hire them so I think it was more straightforward for them. 

My last name starts with "S," but I'm starting to lose hope for perinatal and NICU, and I have my ACLS, BLS, NRP, and 300+ hours in L&D/PP in my last semester alone 😞 I wonder if the results of the Health Employment Assessment play a role in the review process.

Jusginf from this thread alone, it seems there are soooooo many applicants for NICU 😬

Just got my application sent to the hiring manager for further review this morning. Status changed to "in review". I am an external candidate with the last name starting with "g". I applied for NICU and perinatal units. 

I just got an email that my status changed to "in review" for perinatal and nicu! I applied somewhat late on the 9th.

Yeah, for some reason someone said that internal applicants get an interview is that true ? 

Hi I got an email saying my application was forwarded today; I applied to CTICU and PICU!
