Really? For Beverly Hills? 
what questions were there?

Yes, for Beverly Hills. It was common questions like why this unit, where do you see yourself in 2-3 years, and no clinical question! 

Did they tell when you will hear back ?

what unit did you interview with? 

Awesome! Anyone knows for Marina Del Rey how interviews will go ? 

Specializes in Registered Nurse.

I just finished my interview as well~ I think it depends on who is interviewing you and what unit you're interviewing for? I got asked about 8-10 questions. I got a little bit of everything. Personal, Clinical experience & Scenarios. "What would you do if..” 

My bf interviewed yesterday and received an offer about 7 hours later. You guys might hear back sooner than you think. Best of luck to you all!🙂 

Can you tell us how the interview went for him ! Wow and nice he heard quickly 

I had my interview today as well, it was tough. A lot of clinical scenarios, 8-10 questions are asked overall. 

Since I have post care ICU unit, I had some tough clinical questions... I got grilled with clinical questions.  They were not just 1-2 answers, they wanted to hear step by step on what I need to do.  I got most of the answers right, but missed out on some steps.  For example.  they gave me vital signs and physical description of patient,  I had to identify the issue, than what type of assessment or orders I need to carry out. 

 But other than that,  the behavioral ones were straight forward.   I think they are mainly looking for new grad nurses who they feel will fit in with their team.

Got it. Thank you for explaining it. I imagine that you had chosen the unit when u applied? Or did they ask you there?
