Sharp New Grad Program Fall 2012/Winter 2013

[ExPharmaGirl]

I wanted to start a thread on the Sharp New Grad Program in San Diego that opened for apps today. Best of luck to all that applied!

Thank you :)

Also, Memorial evidently has started setting up phone interviews, so heads up.

[ExPharmaGirl, BSN, RN]

Yay Coriander!!!

Thanks and Congrats Coriander!! I hope you get it! Does anyone know how the phone interviews are?

[Coriander, BSN, RN]

Phone interviews are very mellow - mostly asking about your resume or job experience, and perhaps a couple of questions about why you want to work for Sharp. Some behavioral questions, asking what you might do in a certain circumstance or how you bring yourself to patient care.

Good luck to everyone! I was in your shoes 2 years ago. :)

Coriander, What type of behavioral question? Can you give an example?

[Coriander, BSN, RN]

One of the popular questions I've been asked in 4 out of 5 interviews is, "Tell us about a difficult patient and what you learned from it."

[ExPharmaGirl, BSN, RN]

I've been asked that too.

That question was in the supplemental q's. It is probably a good idea to look over the questions again huh?

[Coriander, BSN, RN]

I'm often asked questions that were in the supplementals, or to expand on those stories.

Of course there's the "tell us about a time you had a conflict with a coworker" question.

Does anybody remember when the Grossmont behavioral health program is supposed to start?

I believe that was one of the first to start. By now I think...
