Penn State Residency: Hershey Medical Center 2015

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hey Everyone,

I don't see a thread for 2015 yet, so I thought I'd start one. I'm just beginning the application process, and the clinical narrative is killing me. I precepted in trauma at a trauma center, so it was get them in, get them out: usually to a rehab. I can't think of how I might have changed their lives or had a big impact. I was able to attain great skills and do frequent assessments: neuro, neurovascular, cardio, telemetry strips, etc. and do and see some great stuff, I wish I could write about that!

I'd like to hear from anyone applying now or who applied in the past. Any pointers?

I'll be interviewing for the Periop OR course. Anyone have any advice?

has anyone else had their interview yet? what was it like?

I had mine today it was very thorough and nerve wracking but I really enjoyed it in the end. Everyone was very nice and easy to talk to. I really hope I get it!!!

Good luck to everyone else interviewing!!

I think we spoke today! Did you interview in Women's Health? Glad to hear your interview went well, I think mine did, too. Hope we both get in. :)

I was supposed to interview today, but I landed another job so I cancelled. How was the med calculation test?

Good luck everyone!

What kind of questions did get ask beyond the general interview questions, such as. "Tell us a little bit about yourself." Anything?

I had 2 interviews and although they clearly had the same interview form in front of them, the managers asked different questions. It was a lot of "tell me about a time..." I think I must have blocked out most of it (I was so nervous!) because I can't remember anything more specific than that! Good luck!

Guys check your emails! I just got an offer for the NICU!!!

Specializes in GI Surgery Step-down.

As I understand you already got an other interviews as well. I don't think so they will offer something to use whic was denied :)

I also received an email in my way home from Hershey. I will be working in the oncology unit! Can't wait to meet everyone in February.

I too received an email the day of! I'll be in the OR!
