Cook Children's Feburary 2016 Cohort

[Bvb3273]

Hi Everyone!

I am super excited to be interviewing for the 2016 February Cohort and wanted to know if there was anyone out there just as nervous/excited! I read all the different posts from previous cohorts and found it funny that there were not any posts for our cohort yet! I use this site all the time and just never registered, but here I am now :)

Overall I have learned that the interview is pretty challenging, at least it will be or me D-: I have never had a panel interview for a job before! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!!

Lol if it makes you feel better I am also very nervous/excited! Mine is next week. I've never had a panel interview either, the most I've had is manager/supervisor for a tech job. But I'm more nervous because I keep reading that there is a case study which freaks me out lol I can barely remember what I learned last week, let alone a semester or two ago

Lol that is true, but I think it will be alright. Just try take a deep breath and not rush your answer :) They know it's a nerve wrecking experience and can't expect a perfect answer from everyone. Hopefully all goes well, good-luck! Maybe we will see each other on the other side

Also have you received an e-mail yet about instruction on where to meet and park? Dr. Ann Smith told me I would receive an e-mail of instructions from Ms. Murphy but I haven't yet.

Very true! Thanks, good luck to you too! And yes maybe we'll see each other on the other side! lol

Yes I received one from her yesterday around 2pm. So yours should probably be coming soon too!

[Bvb3273]

Thanks! I received an e-mail from her 30 minutes after I asked you, you can read minds lol

[RAndaRoo]

Yay!! Hahaha I wish I could. That would be quite helpful lol

[RAndaRoo]

Have you had yours yet? Mine's tomorrow & I'm freaking out lol

[Bvb3273]

No not yet, mine is not till Thursday. Goodluck friend! I hope all goes well, what track did you apply for?

[RAndaRoo]

[Bvb3273]

Bahhh thanks!!

I applied for the medsurg track! You?

The critical care track 😄

Let me know how it goes! I can't wait till next week when we find out yes or no lol I want it to be over with already 😅

[RAndaRoo]

Lol well I walked out just absolutely convinced that I didn't get it. haha the interview questions weren't too bad but some were just so broad I was like what?? And i feel like there were about 10. But the case study, Lord that case study. Killed me :Skull:

And of course on the drive home I was like oh I could've said this, this and this. haha but glad its over and I hope yours goes great on Thursday!!

Congrats on being done with the interview! I'm incredibly envious that you don't have it hanging over your head anymore. I have an interview for the critical care track tomorrow and I am shaking thinking about it. Was the case study just as terrifying as the rest of these allnurses posts make it out to be?
