background check

do hospitals do a background check without the intentions of hiring you? i was just notified that they are doing a background check and then will be in touch once its complete. thoughts?
Usually a background check means you have made it past the shredder, but is not a sure indication of being hired. The difficult part is that such checks take time... sometimes a couple of weeks.

They probably would not spend the time and money unless they felt they would hire you.

IMO you got the job as long as your background holds up! congrat's

They often farm these out. It's the last step to rule out potential hirees. Credit report, criminal background check, driving record, military records are collected by an independant agency. Unless you used a bad check to buy a stolen army jeep and got a speeding ticket during the getaway, congratulations on the job.

I'd say they are very interested and you probably made it to the finals.. good luck

thanks for all the positive feedback! keeping my hopes up, but not too high....

Did you get the job? I am in the same situation right now.
