I'm an introvert too (being an only child only served to make me even more so because I had fewer interactions with people my own age), and shy to boot. There are desk jobs available - I currently work in obgyn clinic doing mostly patient message/pho...
I took a triage position in OBGYN about 4 months ago for a change of pace from direct patient care. It's not strictly phone - we also handle the physician's in basket messages, where I'd say 80% of questions/problems/complaints come from, and I'm alr...

I've never done bedside, and I've been a nurse for close to 3 years. Not for lack of trying, but right out of school, I missed all of the new grad programs that my cohort got into because my state nursing board took their sweet time getting my ATI to...
I've seen a lot of questions regarding negotiating pay within a hospital system, but what about in the ambulatory/outpatient sector? Is this something that is typically done, or do most people just accept the offer immediately? I must admit that I am...

So, I may have an interview at a private practice dermatology clinic soon. I know there are general behavioral questions that are asked during most interviews, but if you work at a derm clinic, can you tell me what your interview process was like? I'...

Let me share my first (and basically last) interview story with you, in the hopes that my sorrow makes you feel better about how you did. Some background on me. I'm a new grad. I've never worked as a nurse, and the last time I interviewed for a job,...
Hi, all! After a crushing and humiliating first interview experience for a new grad position a couple months ago, I've finally landed another one. This time, with Adventist Health in Hanford, CA. So my question is twofold (or like eight-fold, if I'm ...
I'm interviewing for a totally different hospital, but I'll also be doing a Hirevue digital interview. Can you tell me if you did the practice run throughs, and if so, were you forced to do the interview in the same session or were you able to practi...

I know I'm resurrecting an oldish thread here, but for anyone who is currently working for Adventist Hanford, or has worked for them in the recent past, do you recall what your video interview was like? I'm wondering if I can record, and then erase a...

Has anyone heard anything back, now that interviews should be over? Regional Medical was hiring during the same period, and people are now receiving offers.
It's just under $32/hr during the training period (13-16 weeks), and then you start at the hospital's pay rate of $50.40 afterwards. There is a 2-yr contract that begins after training ends. I just interviewed (before you ask, I totally bombed it, so...
Thank you for the clarification. :) I do understand your frustration with freely giving information, and then having people take it for granted - like it was owed to them. I have tried Googling, and I have gotten ranges, but I know that in the Bay Ar...
Thank you in advance? Lol. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really don't know why you would reply in the manner that you did. So you have the information, but are unwilling to share it. You didn't really give me a chance to show gratitude ...
