Cleveland Clinic New Grad Rn one on one interview questions?

Published

Hi,

I have a two one on one interview with Cleveland Clinic next week, and I was wondering what kind of questions are asked during the interview, what is the process like, and is there any tips that can be given? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you!

@ Godsmissinangel1,

Did you get a one on one interview? I interviewed for a cardiac floor and a med/surg floor but also has telemetry.

Congrats on finishing both of your interviews! How did they go??

No, I haven't, I was told that a recruiter would schedule a phone interview with me and a nursing manager in 2-3 weeks. Then if I pass the second phone interview, I could possibly come in for a one-on-one interview. So I still have a ways to go in the process. I told her my preference was med/ surg so I might interview for a med/ surg unit.

I interviewed in the MICU. They just chatted with me and cracked jokes and fed me Panera mostly to be honest. They asked a few basic questions about my background and why I wanted to be a nurse. Then I shadowed for a few hours and went home. HR called me on my way home and offered me the job immediately. I did not end up accepting because I got offered a job at Ohio State and that's the kind of place people stay long term so I took it.

I was offered both positions!! So, I had to make a decision. Now I have to take the physical capability test which I'm a scared I hear its hard. I work out three days a week with light weights, and I run. I hope I can pass!

Hi all! I know this thread is a few months old but I was wondering how long you waited in between your phone interview and a manager calling for a face to face. I had a phone interview last Thursday and HR said they were opening my application to the cardiac and med surg units:) Any responses would be greatly appreciated, I am so excited about the possibility of working there!!!!

I had less than a week total in between applying, phone interview, manager interview, and job offer.

I was just recently hired in the MICU at Cleveland Clinic. I just took my physical capability test today, but am wondering if you also had to take a Basic ECG Test, Medication Math Test, and PBDS assessment.

I realize you posted this a year ago, but was wondering if you could give me on some insight on these tests if you had to take them as well. I want to do my very best!

Thanks!

Hi blizzard281 Congrats!! how was the whole experience for you?? I applied a couple of days ago and scheduled initial interview with a recruiter in a week

Congrats blizzard281!! I was curious, did you have your senior preceptorship on the ICU? I had my phone interview over a month ago which went great because I was placed in the "pool", and was wondering if it was normal to wait this long for a nurse manager to call. I wanted to apply for any cardiac floor including telemetry and CVICU, but the recruiter I interviewed with told me it was highly competitive and internal candidates were hired/looked at first. TIA for any insights!! Good luck everyone!!

How was the pce? I'm scheduled for mine soon and I never work out :/ other than that they also scheduled me for the PBDS, I asked the hr recruiter and was told that your offer does not depend on passing that test it's only to judge where you are and guide your orientation.
