Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

[aghols12]

The deadline is the last Friday in March. From now on I going to open my options because I am now aware competition is pretty fierce for jobs; for some reason I just assumed a job was going to just appear and float down in my hand like a feather, how naive. BTW I graduate this upcoming May. I am starting to get pretty freaked out about jobs now. And, have you all heard anything about Scott & White? Seton was my first choice, but I'm just making more room.

When I had my interview they didn't ask me any clinical questions and I still got the job. So don't feel bad. My interview was very laxed, we talked about when I lived in Europe, and Kate and William, very casual.

I wouldn't worry too much about them not asking about clinical experiences. I really can't remember my questions but I don't think they asked much about my experiences. What they'll look more for is to see if you would fit in. Do you have a team player mindset. Are you willing to learn and be taught. Are you committed. That's more important than your experiences which really don't mean much bc you'll be going through an internship to gain experiences.

Thanks Prettyladie and Lovelymo79 for the input. I'm trying to remain optimistic. I felt a strange vibe during the whole interview. Both the interviewers talked so much I felt like I barely said anything of substance. Does that make sense? I hung up the phone and literally said out loud, "what just happened?!" We'll see how it goes.

rnamelia - that's how I felt too after my phone interview this week. I feel like I sounded sooo nervous on the phone :/ I was completely fine and then the moment it rang I got so nervous I feel like it was a disaster! But at least I can just re-apply later if it doesn't work out.

Hi Autumnofage! I'm sorry to hear we had similar interview experiences. I don't think I'll ever agree to a phone interview again, I feel like I wasn't given an opportunity to really speak or connect with the interviewers. Did they tell you when you would hear back from them? Did they ask if you would be willing to come down and shadow on the floor and meet with them in person? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we both get good news. Hang in there... I'm sending positive vibes your way! :)

Hi all. Hope you don't mind if I join the discussion. I too applied for a new grad position at Scott and White and recently had a phone interview. I don't feel like my interview went well either. It seemed remarkably similar to rnamelia's. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and let you know that I too had a strange interview.

Hi guys! Anyone heard back from Scott & White yet?

I have a med/surg interview on Monday (in person).

For those of you who have had med/surg interviews already, did they say they plan to start in January?

[Shiner50]

And, did they say which units are available?

[aSpringChicken]

They didn't mention when they plan to start. It sounds like they do med/surg internships throughout the year so they weren't specific on a start date. They said they had "several" positions available but wouldn't specify on what specific med/surg unit. Good luck Monday.

Interesting.... thanks!!

Hi everyone. Quick question: how long after you got an initial offer from the director of your department did it take for HR to contact you with a written offer?
