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!

The recruiter set up my second interview that day

I guess Im not selected cos she told me others are still being interviewed and I should be receving a call by Friday. Good luck on your panel interview

Wait when did you have you interview? I would imagine they are still interviewing ppl because of the four starting dates

Thanks Kissmyace! Its just frustrating how they keep you in the dark and you have no clue whats going on.

yes, they do keep you very much in the dark! but did you call the recruiter? that seemed to help. i didn't hear anything for 3 weeks so I just kept calling and leaving messages and finally got a call back.

Congrats to those who have panel interviews this week. Sometimes it only takes days to get a call back & sometimes it takes weeks. If you haven't heard anything yet don't give up. Until you have actually been told you didn't get the job keep calling & being persistent. Good luck to all!!

Would you know the likelyhood of someone getting an offer after the second interview?

[chelseafm]

not sure if my info is correct but one of the HR people I spoke with said they're interviewing maybe 80 people for hiring 40. sounds like a lot of new hires to me

Honestly, your chances are pretty good especially if you had a good interview. My panel interview was not great but it wasn't terrible. I had a brain freeze when the last panelist asked questions. I was so focused on all the writing he was doing I lost my train of thought, lol I felt those few moments killed me & I barely completed my response. After that it ended on a better note with their responses to my questions but I wasn't sure if it was enough to overcome my temporary memory lapse.

For those waiting for a call back for the panel interview or if its already scheduled, just be sharp & practice answering questions. All questions I was asked were similar to the HR interview. At this point you can't afford any slip ups like I had. Yes, they are hiring a good # of new grads but just think how many applicants they have. Good luck to you all & update us if you do or don't get offered a position.
