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.

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?

The best advice I can give is to be honest and be yourself....have you ever resolved a conflict for others? I bet you're a good communicator and that's why you do not have conflicts with others...so say that :)

Thanks for the suggestion BooBear!

Anyone else who interviewed last time have any tips as to what they're looking for? Are they looking for strong customer service & empathy/compassion, or more of being a strong leader and assertiveness type stuff?

Good luck to us all who interview tomorrow and next week!

Good luck to everyone interviewing tomorrow! I'm thinking about you! :)
