I'll be graduating at the end of October (odd date, I know) with my BSN from an accelerated second degree program. I was applied to JHH for a new nurse position (med/surg) and I was invited for an interview!
I am extremely nervous because this will be my first interview for a nursing position, and I have never worked in healthcare. I have no relevant experience. I understand that nurse managers ask behavioral and clinical scenario questions.
Has anyone interviewed with them? Do you have any tips or examples of clinical scenarios that they might ask?
okay, i applied for months and never got a call back. So good for you for scoring an interview, its obvious they're very strict on having a bsn. I have hospital experience and I did not call get a call back.
I'm sorry that you haven't had a call back.... They're not strict about having a bsn, but they have guidelines for hiring nurses with adn's. The position that I applied for states:
"Bachelors Degree from an Accredited School of Nursing preferred. Associate Degree candidates may be considered for some departments, provided they are either currently enrolled, or will shortly be enrolled in an accredited RN to BSN program."
If that is the case for you, I would write it in your resume under your education section, and reapply. I think that having hospital experience is invaluable!
Since they receive so many applicants, I think that they are very selective on over letters and resumes. I think what helped me was that I incorporated words from their job description into my cover letter....
One of the positions that I applied for stated:
"The Nurse Clinician I is responsible for:
-Coordinating care for assigned patients on a shift to promote the achievement of clinical outcomes.
-Providing evidence-based patient care based on the nursing process policy, procedures, and protocols of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
-Working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary health care team to optimize team performance.
-Participating and promoting quality clinical improvement on unit by supporting departmental and hospital safety standards.
-Practicing responsible cost-effective use of resources.
-Social, behavioral and physical knowledge of current health care environment.
-Highly effective verbal communication and interpersonal skills to establish working relationships that foster optimal quality patient care.
-Ability to analyze data to synthesize and summarize information and to make judgments regarding patient care.
-Demonstrated commitment to service excellence.
-Highly effective verbal communication and interpersonal skills to establish working relationships.
-Ability to use a computer keyboard to input and obtain data."
I incorporated four of these qualities in sections in my cover letter (my cover letter was a page long) and under each section, I described how I demonstrated these qualities in my previous experience.
When I first called, the recruiter also suggested that I apply to numerous positions to show my enthusiasm for working at Hopkins.

Good luck!
Just because they write in their description does not mean they abide by it. I'm currently interviewing with another hospital who is magnet status. I have enrolled in rn - bsn program, which is stated on both on my resume and cover letter. The units I'm interviewing for will be much better than the units that I applied for at hopkins. Hopkins is just not for me at this moment.
I have an interview coming up at JHH and I'm incredibly nervous. I do exceptionally well in school, I have great recommendation letters, but so so so many other nursing student. I'm nervous about the interview and was wondering how yours went? If you wouldn't mind sharing your experience?
For all of you who applied recently, were you applying for the nurse residency program or just a new nurse position? From what I can tell from the website, there is no separate application for the nurse residency program, but I just wanted to check with people who have already been through the process to be certain. If anyone has applied for the nurse residency program recently, I would love to hear a little bit more about it from you. I graduate in May 2017, but I'm not sure when I am supposed to submit my application or which positions (what is the difference between nurse clinician I and IM?) to apply for. I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

Hi so apply to a NC I position in a unit you like or that has a job positing. That is reserved for new grads or nurses with less than 12 months experience. That's what I did, and I received an invitation to interview about 1-2 months before graduation. Good luck :)

Oh also, every new grad offered a position will work on their unit they applied for and automatically be put in the nurse residency program
Hi MissPatricia. I actually have an odd question for your about your program with Holy Family. I just applied for the Fall and I was hoping for some insight. Thanks!
