Banner Nurse Fellows Program

Published

I interviewed for the nurse fellows program through Banner about three weeks ago and still haven't heard anything! I was talking to another girl there for an interview who said that her friend (I know, I know, don't listen to anything like this, but I can't help it!) got a call a week after her interview offering her a slot. Has anyone else interviewed and heard anything?

I don't know why I'm so freaking out about it. I'm already accepted into Mesa to start in January (I deferred) but I WANT TO GET INTO THIS!

My bachelors is in Physical education with a minor in recreation. Is this your first time applying for Banner? I really do hope I get a call. Still keeping my fingers crossed.

Congrats Teenie and I'm sure you'll get called Dreamer! I rec'd a call and have an interview scheduled for Friday. My major is in Business Administration. This is my first time applying since I just finished my coreqs in May. I wonder if anyone who has already had an interview from a current but previous cohort might be willing to share what the experience was like? I have seen threads that go back a year or two but I'd be interested in hearing from some recent interviewees. I'm very excited and also wish everyone good luck! Jeanene

Wow, both are great degrees to have! Yes, this is the first time I have applied to Banner for I just finished my coreqs in May too.

I was wondering the same thing, Jeanene! I was hoping someone could give us some pointers! I get soooo very nervous during interviews!

Good luck Friday! I hope it goes well and we see each other soon! :)

Hi Teenie,

I'm going to confess that I am old enough to be your mom. I have sons, 22, 19, 15 years old. BUT DO NOT feel old at all. I feel that I have experience in life...managing unruly PTA moms.....deciding whether to insure people when I was in the insurance industry..now trying to help people get into or out of their homes (I'm a Realtor)....and that is what lead me to believe I should sprout out and look to other opportunities...if you want any support from a 'mom' figure I'd be happy to help...and if we both get in....maybe we can work together to help each other out! But now...I must go to bed....rode rollercoaters at Magic Mountain for two days straight besides driving there and back from Phoenix....and my interview is Friday and I have best friend house guest arriving tomorrow....I wish you all luck..and I wish myself luck....Jeanene

I was just wondering for the ones that have had their interview if they told you what date they would let you know by? I am still hoping to get a phone call for an interview, but was just wondering the time line.

Hi folks,

I am interested..as are some of my fellow interviewees to be, in asking if anyone who has already gone through the interview process and secured a position in a cohort could help some of us going through it now. I've read old posts regarding this but would be more interested in recent interviewees opinions. If anyone would care to shed light on the process....i.e., now many interviewers..how many questions...what was the main topic....those of you who are already in have nothing to lose by helping some of the people on this forum trying to do their best here. I've got tons of answers to possible questions going through my mind and would be grateful to whittle them down a bit. Jeanene

Dreamerinaz,

I just had my interview on Thursday and they told me everyone will know at the same time if they got in on August 7 through email.. Did they call you get???

Jeanene,

How did it go?? Mine was O.K., I HOPE! Some were pretty tricky but I hope if nothing else, I killed them with my smiling!!! Hahah!

Hope you're both having a good weekend,

teenie

Hi Teenie,

I had a day to be remembered. I arrived at 10:15 for my 10:30 interview and waited and waited....finally talked to administration. Turns out I was supposed to come in on Thursday like you Teenie. But all my notes showed Friday. I had a doctors appt on Thursday and had to pick up a friend from the airport so I think it she had said Thursday I would have thought about that...But anyway...I could have been mixed up from all the rides at Magic Mountain....I NOW have an interview on Tuesday. Did you get a sheet with the questions on it? A guy named Irish did a while ago according the the logs. Good luck and thanks for telling us about the notification date!!

I guess there is a mix up because my friend showed me this reply dated June 28, 2007 from Cursed Irishman:

I just had my interview for the fellows program today. It was a standardized interview, to the point they had a copy of the questions they were going to ask me laid before me, giving me time to think of answers.

Just wondering if it were possibly true. Have a great weekend! Jeanene

The paper w/ the questions on it was not shown until the actual interview; its not like they mailed a copy of the questions so I could reheorifice my answers.

Hi Irish,

I didn't think they mailed them....I was just interested in that they gave you a sheet when you went in. No one else said anything about that as far as my friends and I could see from the posts. Even getting a glimpse at the questions when you are sitting down is definitely helpful. I hope they are still doing that. Have a great weekend! Jeanene
