    Yeah, my email said that it would be a 30 min interview with a panel of 5 managers from the various Scripps hospitals.

    Anyone know what types of questions they might be asking us?

    Just got the email for an interview! From what I've heard it's like a big cattle call with various tables representing various departments.
    Thank you so much for this bit of information. I was wondering how so many of us have the same interview time!

    No problem

    I graduated a year later than my original cohort so I have heard a lot of interview situations for all the major SD hospitals.

    I believe Scripps asks personality and "situation" type questions: name a time you disagreed or had a conflict with a coworker and how you handled it; your strengths; your 5 year plan, etc.

    Scripps does not have inpatient peds.
    Thank you! I just got my email today for an interview on the 6th but I am passing it up for someone who really does have an interest in adult care. Thanks.

    OMG! I just read my email. I have an interview on June 6th at 12:30. I can only pray that I will take my NCLEX at the end of July. My school won't post the BSN until July 2nd. I've heard that the turn-around time with the BSN to approve testing takes from 3-6 weeks. That would be a bummer if I miss the Aug 13th deadline. Oh well, not much I can do but keep positive. Good luck to everyone! And don't despair if you haven't rec'd an interview email, yet. Give it another week.

    Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!

    I graduated this past Saturday and already received my authorization to test and have already signed up for Nclex. It shouldn't be a problem for you. Good luck.

    Got the interview email as well. Had a couple classmates that were internal candidates the last time around. None had RN license at the time of interview and were not offered jobs. I wasn't fortunate for a first round interview last time, so hoping for the best on June 4th.

    What if you've never disagreed or had any conflict with a coworker cause you "get along with everyone," like I do? Maybe say something like, "If I did have a conflict with a coworker, I'd ask to speak to them in private to resolve the issue..." Anyone have other ideas?
