Kaiser Permanente New Grad Interview

Published

Hello, I have an interview with Kaiser Permanente San Diego for a new grad position (no specific unit - have to reapply to a unit after training). I was wondering what types of questions they ask - behavioral? clinical? both? Any input would be awesome. Thank you!

Specializes in L&D, infusion, urology.

I'm also interviewing with Kaiser next week, and I'd love input on the interview. I understand that mine will be a 3 person panel. Thank you!

Hi! Congrats on the job! Did you apply online and did the title/position state whether it was for a new grad?? Or did it say something general like emergency rn?

The new grad positions I've seen have had titles like, "Staff Nurse II/Staff Nurse I/Interim Permittee" on the tagline. Kaiser is generally pretty firm on having AT LEAST 6 months of acute care experience. I tried contacting a good contact I have with Kaiser, and she reiterated that.

To those wondering the kinds of questions asked, a few that I remember (interviewed for a new grad position in the ED):

Tell me about yourself.

Tell me about a time you had a miscommunication with a coworker/manager/fellow student.

A pt presents with these sx, what possible diagnoses come to mind, in order of importance. (given a few of these)

Tell me about a time when you feel you went the extra mile for a patient.

I'm trying to remember more. I was extremely nervous, as you can imagine, and sadly, didn't get the job. On to the next. :)

You'll need more posts on this site before anyone can send you a personal message.

For those who landed an interview with Kaiser for the new grad position, did you work as an RN at another hospital first to gain the 6 months of experience in acute care?

I received my RN license a month and a half ago . Yay. I have been applying to several of the Interim Permittee positions posted but I receive emails stating that the positions have been canceled. Does anyone have an idea whether these positions are filled or just canceled?

For those who have gone through the new grad application process, how many steps are there? One interview or several? And what type of questions do they ask? I applied for a new grad position and have been told to make myself available for a "possible interview" next week. Any tips and advice would be appreciated! I just got my license in December and do not have any experience.

I know this is an old post.. but I was wondering if you had a phone interview for the Kaiser New Grad and if so what questions did they ask?
