Hey everyone.

Thought it would be nice to start this thread. Has anyone applied for this residency program or has been through this program? I just applied to the program and am curious to learn more about this program. Anyone went through the interview process? What's the nursing interview like and how is your experience working there? Any tips and information is greatly appreciated :D

Hi there,

Thank you for starting this thread. I applied, I'm an out of stater, graduated from an assoc. program in nyc, but am looking to relocate to Hershey. Haven't heard anything, but am checking my yahoo account like crazy. Good luck everyone!

I really just want to work at Hershey, I put my top three as OR, Heart & Vascular ICU, and ED, but really I don't have a preferance, hope that doesn't hurt me, you know? Again, I wish all of you the best, and if I hear anything I will be sure to post.

Thanks, again!

I'm glad you found the thread lionett123, thanks for replying to the other post. I'm not out of state but I do live a distance from the area and I will HOPEFULLY be planning a move as well!

I applied for Acute Care, Women's Health, and to the Cancer Center.

I hope it's today! I feel like I'm dying waiting for a reply!

hi guys,

i applied for positions in the ER, OR, and Pediatrics. i still haven't heard anything from the nurse recruiter yet and i think it's safe to assume everyone hasn't either. i think a mass e-mail will be sent out soon to those who are or will be selected. maybe the deadline for unit nurse managers to submit names of candidates they want to interview is within the next few days and then we will hear from them. good luck, everyone. keep your fingers crossed! i will post as soon as i hear anything from Hershey =)

hi again everyone!

i just received an e-mail from the nurse recruiter at 2:07pm today to notify me of an interview confirmation! the e-mail contains the date and time of the interview (Nov 7th, 1:30pm) as well as my interviewer's names, room number, and the unit (PEDS). You guys should check your e-mail if you're not already checking it compulsively like i have. i'm waiting to hear good news from everyone!!! yay!!!

okay, so now i gotta go buy a suit lol

Hi everyone! I also got an email today notifying about the interview!!!!!! They set me up for an interview with my top choice. For those who received emails... are you scheduled for only interview place? Or all 3 that you selected as your top choice??

lacePSU, Congrats!!

in my e-mail i saw only 1 interview with the nurse manager on PEDS unit. well, so it starts at 1:30pm with the nurse recruiter meeting me in the lobby and possibly asking some questions and showing me around. then at 2pm, i go up to the 7th floor to interview with a nurse manager on the pediatrics unit. my top choice was ER and 2nd choice was OR but i was given only 1 interview in PEDS (my 3rd choice) but i'm still very happy. i think they don't have that many positions available in the ER or OR anyways.

Yes I had only one interview scheduled too, which is why I asked if that seemed to be how it was for others too. I know someone who interviewed last year and they said that when you meet with Lynn, she directs you where to go and gives some interview tips on the way. I was under the impression that she isn't going to ask any interview questions, but I don't know if things have changed in a year.

I am interviewing in the HVICU... is anyone else??
