I also received an official offer letter! I have a start date of March ?

Do you already have your RN license or still waiting to take the NCLEX?

Has anyone received a float pool invite?

I got a call this week to interview for med-surg next week but did not receive any information on whether it would be in-person or virtual. To those who got a call to interview, did they send a follow-up email with more information regarding the interview?

I did not get a follow up email. Only a confirmation email when and where my interview will be. But my interview was in person. The manager told me the info about the interview over the phone.

For those of you who interviewed for medsurg, how long did you wait to receive the reference survey from HR?

Mine was for the ED & virtual but I received an email the next day after I got a call offering an interview. If you havent gotten anything, I would definitely reach out to make sure!

I am interviewing for the ED but their acute care side (basically inpatient holding in the ED and observation). I am having mine on Thursday. Do you mind sharing what kind of questions they ask? How did you feel about the interview?

@monica_ @lalala21 thank you for the advice. Ended up calling and they forgot to pencil me in for a slot!

For anyone still waiting for an interview invitation, I received a phone call on Thursday to interview for an ED overflow unit. My application status had been "Routed for Further Consideration" for about month. I scheduled my interview on the phone and I received an interview confirmation email later that evening with the details. My interview is online, not in person. It seems like their approach varies with scheduling interviews.

Hi sorry I just now saw this! I had my interview yesterday afternoon with a panel of 3 people. I was a bit confused about their classification of the dept because during the initial interview invitation phone call, they said Emergency but then found out it is the annex area apparently just med surg with pts admitted from the ED. A little misleading if you ask me! LOL but the interview itself was all situational questions, probably 5-7 questions? I didn't keep track and cant remember them besides the typical "why did you apply to Davis." Overall, I felt as if it went well, just remember they are trying to get to know the type of person you are & how youd handle situations, so bring any clinical or life experience into it you can! another tip is that Davis's HR team actually has a list on their website of interview questions, if you wanted to get an idea.
