the wait must have been harddd. Do you mind sharing what the second of interview was like? I have never got into second round so just wanted to see what it is like. and GOOD LUCK THIS ROUND ?

Yeah no prob. I was asked why this department, how do I handle conflict/ a difficult patient, time I made a mistake, why nursing, my fav clinical day and least fav day, how I'd respond to constructive criticism and what if the criticism is mean, a time I was a leader, where do I see myself in 5 years... I think there was more but I don't remember haha. Basically behavioral type questions and a few getting to know you questions.

Hi Everyone,

Any tips on the first round of interviews? Is it more like behavioral type questions or should I be preparing for scenario type questions too?

Last time the first round of interviews they just ask the essay questions. They said the interviewers may not be the person who read your application. So you can answer the same as how you responded in yout essay response or another answer if you want. I just did all my essay answers.

I was also wondering if it will be a panel interview?

the first one is just a 15 min screen with 2 people! the unit based interview is a panel and it really just varies from unit to unit on how many people, type of questions, etc

Hi all!

I am also still waiting to hear back!

If I haven't heard back for an interview already does that mean I didn't get one? I know app screenings are til today, but if people already heard back, are they just preparing rejections LOL

So at first, I didn't get an email interview either.. but then one of the talent acquisitions texted me about signing up for the interview. I think they may have sent mine to an incorrect email. Maybe also check the spam folder! But yea, if you didn't get an email.. they WILL text you to make sure you get sign up for it if you're still interested.

Thank you! I'm curious if they send our rejection emails?

What's the longest I should wait before I know I got rejected?
