Congrats! 
 

I’ve been doing so much research about new grads entering the float pool. It sounds like a great learning opportunity, but it’s still raises a lot of anxiety coming in. Of course we’ll never feel ready, but it’ll be all be worth it.

2 Years?, to answer your question.
 Did you apply?
My first  interviewed was yesterday with two clinical educator  and to be honest I was not  sure what to expect but there were clinical competency questions, at least 5 of them. Basically, the bases of the meeting with the educators was to ask these clinical questions. Not at all what I prepared for the interview. I answered questions the best of my ability and was told that recruit will be the one to reach out to me for next steps. Can you provide feedback or if anyone reading this post can provide feedback on the interview process and how did you prepare? I was totally thrown off yesterday and just want to who experienced this process to better prepare for second  interview?

Hi! I wanted to know what kind of questions they asked you. Also what was your first choice for specialty? Because some of my friends got interviewed for ER yesterday and today but they are part of the scholars program and they had chosen ER as their first choice and were supposedly calling people who had chosen that as first choice because they are mainly hiring people for ER, I do not know if they need for ICU. I had put critical care as my first choice.

During my first interview I asked to questions based on patient care scenarios; ER was not my first choice actually, I applied for is medical/surg 1) orthopedic 2)oncology 3)Telemetry. I was contact by the recruiter last week and was asked to forward: a letter of intent, proof of my license, copy of my BLS card and my transcript. My documents were reviewed last week and I was contacted by the recruiter for my first interview on Thursday last week, after the recruiter reviewed the documents I submitted.

I had a quick phone interview with a recruiter last week as well but it was a basic interview and she only asked me like "why nursing?" and "where I see myself in 5 years" but she let me know the dates for the specialty interviews and the med surg interview dates and told me I may be contacted for just one interview or several. She did not ask me to submit any of those things, I do not have my RN license yet, I plan to take it in February. I had filled out the regular residency application.

OK. I’ve had a totally different experience! I’ve just been emailing back and forth with recruiter. And, also there may be a difference in the hiring process for ASN versus BSN’s? Not sure, just assuming.
My first interview was via zoom yesterday with twoclinical educators. And, yes, it will be one interview with all the clinical managers. I’ve been scheduled for a medical panel interview next week. 
 

I wish you all the best on February 1st!!! All the best and many more!! You will do GREAT!!!

And, I am only assuming the process maybe different for BSN’s because Baptist typically only hire BSN’s from what I was told by an educator I emailed last year. I have my ASN, maybe that is why I was challenged more at my interview. Just saying.
