Hi everyone! I received an email from HR to complete a screening video with 1 question but only get one recording. Does any know what the question is so I can prepare? Greatly appreciated!

Hi! I am interviewing for the next cycle. Was the question just "tell us about yourself and why Loma Linda?" 

Thanks !

Has anyone heard from them about their process? I was also invited to do the interview and completed it. I am hoping it's sufficient but 5 mins is not a long time to tell them all about you. ?

Hi! I am applying for the next cycle and received the same initial interview. Was the question just "tell me about yourself" ?

Hi! For those who's been working in the OR, how has the experience been and what site are you at (main hospital, east campus, surgical center)? Any insight would be appreciated!

Surgical center. You?

What is the different between your surgical unit and surgical & trauma unit? Also patient to nurse ratio?

Thank you! I ended up declining the position for a couple reasons. Pay wasn't too big of a deal since I'm really just wanting experience (but it would be nice to get decent pay LOL). I applied for ER and they seemed to have messed up the process because I was asked to interview/got an offer for their surgical unit. They also seemed a little disorganized, and they even gave me incorrect contact info so... IDK some red flags here and there on top of a possible 3 year contract wasn't the best.

Hello Allison I just got an opportunity to do the screening interview and I was wondering if you have any tips for me ?? It would be greatly appreciated

I was selected for a new grad OR interview at Loma Linda. It says there will be a panel of 4-9 people through teams online. Any insight on how this process will go? I'm nervous.

I had a panel interview a couple of years ago. It wasn't bad at all. They did most of the talking by introducing their role. They know you're a new grad and don't have much experience. You'll do great! If I remember correctly, you may be required to float to peds occasionally. Good luck!

That's good to know! Do you remember what type of questions they asked? I have no OR experience so I am nervous as to what they will ask. I would love to go to PEDS as well if that is  an option. Thank you so much for the insight.

I had no experience as well and still got selected for a spot. I didn't end up taking it because my CA license was not going to be ready in time. They seemed really nice though! I'm actually thinking of applying for an OR position with them. I believe there was a 3 year commitment which starts after periop101 (OR training which is about 6 months.) I don't remember what they asked though! Sorry!

That's awesome! I would love the opportunity. One of my best friends is an PACU nurse and she loves it. I am open to all aspects of the OR. I hope I am lucky enough to get it! Thank you so much and good luck to you as well!
