Lucile Packard New Grad RN Nurse Residency 2015

LaughLoveLeaRN · Jun 30, 2015

I was told that it would be more behavioral questions but it would be much less intense than the panel interview... more of a conversation. And I think there will be the patient care manager, assistant manager, and probably a few staff nurses interviewing you.

Oh gosh-- more behavioral questions? Haha. It's good to know that it'll be less intense. My head was spinning on my way out of that first interview. Anyways, Lucile Packard is such an amazing hospital and it's awesome that we've made it this far! :)

Does anyone know how many people moved onto 2nd round or how many positions are open per unit?

Mesencephalon, MSN, RN · Jul 1, 2015

I saw in a previous year's LPCH Versant discussion board that 45 were called back for second interviews for 25 positions. I guess the number of second interview offers depends on how many spots they have. I don't know how many positions there will be for this cohort-- let's hope that it's a lot! :)

I heard it was 25 positions also for this cohort.

I also heard there was 25 positions available. Exciting! I interviewed with CVICU yesterday and the team was AMAZING! The interview was not as tough as the panel and it was great getting to know the team. Felt very personal! :) I'm also interviewing with the OR on Monday.

Has anyone gotten the invite for a second interview with HR but does not know which unit you are interviewing with yet?

Hi OR candidates:

I did my second interview today! Take everything I say with a grain of salt because I know the unit after doing my preceptorship there BUT:

It is a lot more casual than the first interviews. Most likely you, the manager ----------------------, nurse educator, and a manager from the SSU/other areas. (thats who it was for me).

They asked a lot of personality questions like... how do you deal with stress, etc. Know why you want Packard, know why you want the OR. Ask about the training! It's a new setup this year and I feel like they are really excited about it, so it would look good to ask about it. FYI: it's Versant + Periop 101, so you do versant classes and learn scrub/circ role. Really awesome.

The manager and the others are VERY nice, non-judgemental and like to talk. Think of it as more of a conversation than an interview. If you have more questions, reply and let me know.

You're awesome! Thank you for the heads up! I'm looking forward to interviewing with the team. :)

Lauren-- thank you so much for the insightful info! Do you know how many people they are interviewing/will be accepting? What was the unit culture like in the OR when you precepted?

Has anyone interviewed with NICU or Acute Peds yet?
