JHH interview tip?

hi all,

i'm going to have an interview at jhh soon.

i'm a new gard from nj with nj license. i didn't really expect to get this interview since i live a little far away.

it would be my first job interview because i didn't even have a chance to get an interview in nj/ny area.

so i am so happy and also very nervous...

would you give me some tips of their interview?

qusetions, atmosphere, salary, their main point,,,,

for the shadowing time, do i need to bring my scrub?

what do i expect during this time?

thank you for any advice!!!

well congrads on the interview! i know firsthand how hard it is to get an interview in ny/nj. being from ny myself i thought that when i finished school in boston i would be able to find a job.... answer was a big fat no!

hear are some things to figure out before the interview

how are you getting there?

i took the train from nyc penn station because i didn't want to do a 3 hour drive for an 8 am interview.

are you doing more than one floor the same day? book a hotel as soon a you can if that is the case for i was exhausted after such a long day. i was there from 8- 5:30 pm . and to make matters worse i couldn't get a hotel because the redsox were playing and all of the hotels were booked so i took a late train back.

share time

was just observation time i did have to bring my own scrubs and shoes for that which was cool and since i had two interviews i didn't have to change back in to my street clothes ( was so grateful for that )

the interview

i just told them what i was looking for and i wanted to advance my education and that this is where i wanted to learn and begin my nursing career. that type of stuff .

there main moto is education and patient care...

it really is a good hospital i mean the patients were happy on all the floors i went to the ratios were 1:2 so the nurses weren't overwhelmed. orientation on the floor i am going to be on is intense, plus the spring program which is a 1 year new grad program all new grads do. they def do prepare you for nursing and whatever you plan to do in your future career.

i wanted to go there for they will pay for my education the tuition reimbursement is really really good. plus if i decide to leave i can go anywhere with that on my resume.

when i met with the nurse recruiter she pretty much gave me so much paperwork about jhh that it was like i already have the job and it is a matter of when do you start. i mean going over benefits and parking i was like whoa do i have a job? ( in my head i was saying this of course)

hope the info helped and hit me up will be glad to give more info

oh don't park on the street park in the garage or take a cab do not park on the street!! it is a war zone out there jhh is not responsible for what happens when you park or go off their property

Thank you very much!!!!

All of your advices are really helpful.

I never think the interview goes for 8 hours.. wow.

I don't have the exact date yet, but when they contact me again, I should change the time. And I'll bring my scrub. It will be really uncomfortable to shadow in a suit and hills.

How were the nurse recruiter and nurse managers you met?

Were they friendly? helpful?

Isn't there visitor parking lot? It takes 2 hrs to get there, so I'll drive by myself. Even though I pay the fee, I want to park in the hospital since I don't know the area.

Again, thank you for your detailed infomation!!!!

There are 2 accessible lots to park at, one on Washington street, called the Washington street garage! That lot is east of the campus, but still on campus. The other lot is the outpatient center lot, that is west of the campus. Washington garage will cost you $10 for the whole day, I think its the same at the outpatient garage.

Go to maps.google.com and copy and paste this number w/o brackets "39.298572,-76.589599" that is the Washington street garage.

Here is the number for the outpatient garage "39.297128,-76.597517"

They are both about equal walking distance to the main hospital
