I don’t think you have to take the battery for WHC! So you should be good if you took it for GT

Thank you! What units did you apply for?

I'm going to preference CVICU, TICU, and SICU! I have experience in all 3 of those types of ICUs so I'm hoping I can get an interview. I'm nervous though

Ahh that’s great! Adults are not for me haha (unless they're moms LOL). Good luck! Hopefully the recruiter reaches out to you soon! WHC has a great residency program so I would love to be there!

I just accepted a position on the CVICU for the July residency! My interview was great they didn’t ask me any questions specific to the ICU, just general nursing questions.

Thank you!! And not really other than shadowing for 20 hours I didn’t really have any other ICU experience, but I’m also a care partner/ patient care tech so maybe that helped a little LOL

Also they reached out a day after the recruiter told me she sent over my application to them!

Update: I got offered an interview with the surgical CVICU! What were the general types of nursing questions? Were they more behavioral or something like what would you do if patient had low BP, etc? @ThefutureRN
