CHOP Video Interview

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hi,

I just got an email stating that I was moved to the next step of the video interview for the residency program. I was just wondering if i can record my answer more than once or if it just starts recording? Thanks!

How did the interviews go today? I have a shadow and interview soon and not sure what to expect

Their interviews are pretty average with the usual situational questions. As for shadowing, this is where you really get to sell yourself because the nurse you will shadow turns in an evaluation form at the end of the day. For me, it was my ticket in because I felt my interview was nothing special. Be very helpful (even if there isn’t anything you can do, offer it anyway) and ask questions, get to know the people on the unit because they are who you’ll be working with, if they don’t think you’ll be a good fit they’ll let the nurse manager know.

My interview went really well, It was more like a conversation. The questions were pretty standard. I was told I would hear back within a week or 2. Would the next step be shadowing?

My interview was very similar if not pretty much the same questions I got in the video interview. It was very casual.They said to expect to hear back within a couple weeks. Good luck!

Yeah same!! The recruiter told me In the beginning that they’re changing their system or something and that we’ll hear back in 2 weeks. I think we have to do the references in the mean time though

Hi everyone! I have an upcoming interview in the NICU and was wondering what kind of questions they asked during the interview, what kind of questions should I ask the nurses when I shadow, and anything else I should know/prepare for? Thank you and I really appreciate the advice! ?

My experience with interviewing with the NICU was mainly situational questions (very average), if you went through the video interview the questions are similar. My manager basically looked at my resume and asked questions based on my answer. Research the institution (mission statement) and the unit you’ll be on. Make sure you ask questions at the end, there are tons of YouTube videos about nursing interviews that give great examples. For shadowing, it’s important to show that you’ll be able to work as apart of the team. Offer your help with whatever you can do (calming a crying baby, talk with family about their baby) and ask question!! Whether it be about the staff (how long have you been in the NICU, what do you love about it, what did you find difficult about the transition, etc) or ask about the babies (their diagnoses, how they usually handle caring for that baby, what diagnoses they usually see on the floor, etc).

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable! I start next week and I’m so excited about it, the unit is incredible from the staff to the patients and their families.

Thank you! For those who work or have accepted offers, do you have any good suggestions on where to live?

Do you also know if there are some facebook groups for the new nurse residents?
