That's awesome you found out earlier!! When is your 2nd interview if you don't mind me asking? They didn't even mention in my interview when we would find out for SM😅 hopefully that's not a bad sign!! You are so close! You totally got this!!

Thank you! It's next week but I don't know anything about SM so best of luck, think happy thoughts. 

has anyone heard from ER Ronald Regan yet, feel like it is very small amount of people that applied compared to NICU and L&D

Okay- as much as I want to help...you gotta go into it blind like we did!! There's only a few spots open & the OR is really competitive so just be prepared for them to ask you anything really 

did they say how many # they're hiring?

Hi. got the 2nd interview call for nicu yday! super excited. goodluck to everyone. 

Did the call come from HR or was it one of the unit managers from the interview ? 
Good luck !! 

has anyone heard back from liver/transplant surgical ICU?

Did anyone else feel like the NICU interview questions were weirdly worded or were difficult? I don't think I will make it to the second interview because I thought it was a hard interview, but good luck to everyone!

OMG yes

Congrats! I wonder if SM will have a 2nd interview? They didn't mention a second interview during my interview. What about yours?

They mentioned second interview in mine for SM!

Can I ask, when did you have your interview? and did they mention when they were gonna reach out for second interviews? They didn't mention second interviews in mine but I was one of the firsts, still hoping for the best !

Congrats that's so exciting! I have a similar question I have an interview next week for medsurg but it's just with the director not even a panel I emailed to double check. Did the nicu interviewees know that there is a two phase interview process or is that something I would find out in my interview? Im so nervous when I get nervous I start talking too fast LOL how do u guys calm the interview nerves?

I asked at the end of the interview what the next steps would be.  At the end of the interview they will usually ask you if you have questions and it's your opportunity to ask about the timeline and what to expect next. I will usually ask, how many candidates are there, how many positions are you looking to fill and what are the next steps after this interview. That will usually prompt them to give you all the info you need. Don't be afraid to ask questions 🙂
