UW Madison New Grad phone interview

U.S.A. Wisconsin

Published

Hey! So I applied to the new grad nurse resident program for Summer 2013 and just heard back from the recruitment office. I have a preliminary phone interview next week and was wondering if anyone can give me any advice on what to expect. Are they just going to ask about my interests or will they get into my strengths/weaknesses and clinical type questions?

Does anyone know what the rest of the application process is like assuming the phone interview goes well? How quickly do they fill their positions?

I have a few friends who got offered positions last week (in TLC, ED, PACU, Peds, and oncology) but I am still waiting on a call or email. Lots of other people havent heard anything either.

This is driving me crazy! Did either of you have contact with your manager since your interview? It was so long ago and because I'm paranoid it makes me think they somehow forgot about my interview and if they liked me or not haha Do you know how late they interviewed? My interview was the second week of January so it makes me wonder how many people they interviewed for each spot available.

I sent a thank you letter to my nurse manager after my interview in January, called and left her a voicemail with my updated leadership clinical location (in the ED, which was relevant to my interview with the ED) and then sent an updated resume and cover letter not too long ago. But since you said that one of your friends was already offered a position in the ED, it makes me think that I wasn't selected! I would think they would do all of the positions for the unit at one time, right?

I work at the hospital so I've seen my manager a few times but she doesn't discuss the residency and I am not completely comfortable asking. I think you can really expect anything at this point, a phone call or an email. Some people had interviews the third week in January, that I know of. And I know some great candidates who I can't imagine not getting hired who haven't heard anything. Seems like a waiting game now!

Have you guys heard back yet? I hope I at least get an email if I wasn't selected.

Does anyone know if the in person interviews emails are sent out all in one day or if they send them out over a couple of days?
