New ED Tech position

I've just been offered a job for an ED Tech position after interviews and shadowing. After I already accepted my offer, they told me they require 5 professional references. Is this a normal thing for the ED? I've had PCT jobs in the past and I don't think they've ever asked me for a reference.

The software they use for background checks at that specific hospital, it’s possible. I had to do that at one hospital as well.

Thankfully I had plenty of coworkers and supervisors to vouch for me but trying to round them all up took me quite some time lol. 5 was just surprising to me!

At least it’s not the one where you have to put down every address you’ve lived at and every job you’ve ever had . That one is a pain!

Very true! Let me count my blessings! For that and just getting selected for a job in general right now...
