For the New Grad Program, anyone know how many interviews each unit does? Is it 2? Typically virtual , then in person? Or just 1 ?

did you get contacted for a second interview?

Which unit?

Hello everyone. I am still waiting as well. I applied to tele, PCU, and ICU. My applications say "referred to hiring manager".

My status just changed to Consideration for Interview for the NICU! Anyone else's status change?

@NMfutureRN33 are you internal? When did it switch to consideration if you don't mind me asking 

Not internal I'm from the Bay Area, it switched yesterday 12/4

😒 this wait is killing me! I check my status about 20 times a day. I had a shadow shift a few weeks back, and the unit manager said they would be reviewing applications this week that just passed.

Woah that's so cool!! If you don't mind me asking, how did you get a shadow shift? 

Does anyone have any updates for Emergency Dept?

Not at all! I had my externship at UCSD on the PCU floor and they allowed us to do shadow shifts in other units.
