    There are other threads about the interview process here. I would read through them also. They do go back a few years but I would think that they are using the same process.

    So I changed my interview date for the 8th of this month, I will be traveling in December 16.

    My Choices were Nicu, Post Partum and Medsurg.

    I really want Nicu but at this point I'll take anything since I finished school back in May. So I will let you guys know how it goes

    Thanks Ferretrodeo I am actually reviewing the threads about the interview process right now, hope it helps

    I applied and was emailed the possible interview dates. I sent a reply email listing my three choices and stated that I would be available any of the dates listed. This was a week ago today and still have not received a confirmation email with a set date! I'm getting slighty nervous!

    Hello everyone! I just came home from my interview and I think it well really well, I only got to interview with the nurse manager from a stroke unit, and not he other units I had for my first priorities. She gave me a tour of the Unit, and her personality made the whole process much easier, but I was still a little bit nervous.

    Some tips for the people coming to Washington Hospital Center for their interview:

    1) Eat before you get there, the whole process might take 2 hours, since you interview with a nurse manager and a recruiter, and you might tour the unit as well.

    2) If you can sit on the chairs on the isles since they will call your name, and you will have to go towards the side of the auditorium and is easier to get around.

    3)Review clinical stuff, such what kind of assestments and interventions should be done for certain patients, and what kind of things the doctor might order.

    4)Everyone was really nice, so don't stress out too much.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! ILL LET YOU KNOW IF I GOT HIRED.:spin:

    I went to the interview today. I was a little disappointed because there were not a lot of Unit Nursing Managers available. I ended up interviewing with a Unit Manager from a floor that I did not sign up for. I think that it went well, but I do not know what to expect now. Did anyone find out what we can expect now after the interview?

    Does it pay for me to fill out the application now? It sounds like they already have all their interviews lined up for Feb. I did not discover this program until today.

    If it is still listed on the website then I would complete an application. From what I was told they are looking to hire 100 people. I had my interview yesterday and 1/3 of the people didn't show due to the weather.

    Newrn1986 had some good tips.

    I drove to the interview. Unless you know the hospital I would advise getting there EARLY so you can find your way around. I was interviewed by two people at once and then they took me for a tour of the floor.

    Good luck!
