Phone screening. What does that mean!?
-
0Mar 19, '13 by rar2012Hi all! I am a new grad RN and applied for an RN-new graduate position at one of the hospitals in my town. I just got word that I am to have a phone screening and if it goes well I will receive an interview. Any idea on what this phone screening may include? I'm nervous!

0Mar 19, '13 by LadyFree28Phone screenings entail a nurse recruiter verifying information based in what you provided on your application and résumé, and asking questions on your nursing experiences (whether in school or previous work experiences, nursing and non-nursing if it was on the résumé), etc. Those answers will assist in deciding which units would be a good fit for an interview. At least that has been my experience. -

Phone interviews are tough cause sometimes you can't hear very well, can't see their faces ect. I found this part tougher than the actual interview so study up! Good luck! -

Hopes that helps
