The interview was pretty much your standard behavioral questions. Not intimidating at all ? don’t get me wrong, I was super nervous, but that was just me wanting this so bad and not them at all.
I would make sure you know why you want to work at CHOC, why that unit in particular, and why their new grad program. REALLY look at how their new grad program is run because they straight up asked me what exactly I knew about the program.
also make sure you have a lot of experiences drawn from the unit you want to work on for the behavioral questions. In my case, they wanted to draw on PICU experiences I had (I didn’t have prior pedi CVICU experience) and for most questions said to only draw an experience from the PICU and not other units

Woohoo! Congratulations on the interview! May I ask if you have had any previous clinical experience in the CICU?
