Bassett Medical Center Interview

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hey all, I am a new grad BSN May 2012. Finally have an interview coming up in 2 weeks at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown (upstate). I have a friend that works there already and loves it up there. Anybody else been hired there? Ow was the process? And the interview with the nurse managers? Any advice?

I'm just getting started volunteering at the hospital, but I have a neighbor who also works at that same hospital and she told me started out volunteering there before she was offered a job. They usually say you're not guaranteed employment, but I believe that if you put in a lot of effort as a volunteer, it could lead to some employment opportunities.

Any calls yet? Hope you found something. It can be stressful. Look into school nursing through agencies or home nursing. Sucks but gotta pay bills.

I already have a per diem job through an agency until I get something full-time, which hopefully is soon :)

I just did my in-person interview yesterday. I interviewed in medical and surgical unit, it was roughly 2 hours long. The nurse managers were so nice and friendly. I think I did well but I was so nervous at the start. Lol

They just called me today and they were asking about my references. Is this a good sign? I don't wanna assume though but I'm really hoping to get this job.

Hi,

I was going over the old posting for BMC and found this forum. Are you working in BMC now? recently I had a phone and a face to face interview @ BMC. they called me to let me know that i am considered for the position at medical unit. Since they are checking my references, I didn't receive the offer letter yet. if you are working in BMC, can give me any suggestions about finding a room/ apt near the BMC? Does BMC provide residency allowance for them who are moving to Cooperstown?

Regards

They will send you an email saying if you got the job or not. It may take a while to hear back from them. I got the job but fortunately I got an offer from one of the rehab facility in Long Island. I wish you goodluck and keep us posted on your application.

Hi Rasha and whoever else interviewed with medical and surgical,

what were your interviews like? What was the unit like? What do you think they were looking for in a new grad? What kind of questions were you asked? Did you do a peer interview? Was there a difference in the type of questions that the nurse manager or director asked to what the peers asked? What do you think worked for you?

If you could either post or PM me (have not enough posts to qualify for PM myself), I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi I had an interview three weeks ago and I got the position in Surgical Unit( one of dream place). I am starting on December 9th. I had interview with nurse educator and two floor nurse.

the educator ask me:

Tell me about yourself?

Tell me how you deal with stress and conflict on the job

and what you know about this hospital?

the floor nurses asked me:

How do handle a difficult patient? and how do you interact with doctors?.

they are very nice and professional.

Good Luck on the interview and keep posting.....
