MD Anderson Residency

[rnliz21]

Hi everyone,

I received an interview for the MD Anderson Clinical Nurse Residency Program starting hopefully mid-March. I'm incredibly nervous because this is my first call back.

Anybody have any tips on... How the interviews are conducted? How many are interviewed? What units at the hospital are available to work in? And did anybody else get an interview?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I've been going through this thread because I have my initial phone interview with MD Anderson soon. Any general advice? How is the second interview? I'm applying out-of-state, but I'm pretty excited to even just be considered, since Oncology is my specialty of choice.

I actually had my phone interview today. I think it went well I am waiting for an email to set up my panel interview. The recruiter said she will send me the available dates. I am applying from out of state as well

Do you automatically get a panel interview after a phone interview or do they select a few? I hope there is an option for Skype/video interviewing, but I'm willing to fly out.

Are the applications still being accepted?

[coconutgirl14]

I would check their website. I applied not too long ago when I saw the posting on indeed.com, but I'm not sure how many they're taking

Its a phone screen so they select a few. The recruiter told me that they are selecting about 80 applicants for panel interviews and are looking to hire between 50- 60 new grads which is very promising. She also said that they give offers based on if they like your interview meaning that if they like all 80 applicants they will extend an offfer to everyone:yes:. They also have the option for webcam panel interviews for out of state applicants. You will be able to see the panel and they can see you but you will be on the phone answering the questions. I am an out of state applicant but I am moving to texas so I am doing the face to face interview. I am not sure if they are still taking applicants but when i picked my panel interview day there were still alot of slots left open. hope this helps.

did anyone hear anything back so far

[rawrrrrrrrr]

Nope. And my interview was 16 days ago so I thought we'd have heard something by now. ughhhhhh. When does the program start- I never asked that..

It is suppose to start in september i believe. I really hope we hear something soon. It seems tough to get an offer around here i moved from NY 3 weeks ago but still nothing.

I heard back from the nurse recruiter today (via email), luckily I am selected for the offer! I am really excited and felt so blessed:)!!! They have two start dates in Sep, and one in early Oct, you can choose (from these three dates) what works best for you. I don't have more details yet, I am told that I will be getting more updates next week. Best wishes to everyone who applied for this opportunity! I know we all have worked so hard, and this journey to the first RN job can be really tedious, but you gotta believe that things will all work out!!!
