Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

Published

Hello fellow new grads!

I'm starting this post to round up all the applicants for the 2013 cohort at Scripps in San Diego. I called HR today and they were rather tight-lipped about when the application would post, and was told "It will post in about 30-45 days" and to "keep checking the website". Enlightening, isn't it? Also to those who applied for the last round and will be re-applying, any tips you want to share for us newbies? thanks and I look forward to hearing from everyone that's just as stressed as I am.

Wishing all of you (who celebrate) a very Happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully this holiday season turns into gifts for us all in one way or another. :-)

All right, snowballs. Good luck to all of us with interviews. It starts today. :)

Hopefully today will result in a hell of a birthday present. LOL

Anybody know how these interveiws work? I am not sure exactly how to prepare since we didnt necessarily apply to a "unit". Any advice? Also how did interviews go this morning/today?

I don't know if it's just how I approached it, but I had a really fun interview. Lots of laughing and a few serious moments. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. :)

SPANGLEC, we're interviewing for 5 hospitals, essentially. Whoever wants to pick you up will call (or email) you with an offer. Otherwise they send out those awful rejection emails. I had people from three different hospitals in my panel. Some panels had 3 people, others had 5. It varies. I don't know how they figure out who's going where.

For those who had an interview today do you mind sharing what type of questions were asked?

I went into 9444. They had signs on the door.

Questions were all behavioral. A lot of prioritization kind of things. A few weird questions that I can't even remember right now, but I was totally thrown off. lol

Coriander: Did they happen to say when they would contact us regarding their decision? Or if there is going to be second round interviews or was this it?

I didn't ask, I'm sorry. There is only one round of interviews. Last time, I interviewed on June 4th and received my rejection on the 20th. People were receiving job offer phone calls several days ahead of my email.

I hope that helps. :)

They gave us sheet with info and it stated that we would know by December 7th if we were selected or not. I asked how many they were hiring and they said about 50.
