New grad interview at Mount Sinai on Wednesday

[kcangel1]

Hi all, I am a new graduate RN and have an interview at Mount Sinai with the nurse recruiter on Wednesday. I was wondering if anyone has any tips, advise, or information on the interview process/questions asked? I'm really nervous and want to make sure I am as prepared as possible because I really want to start my career!!

Any advise would be amazing!!!

How I wish I can get an interview with Mt. Sinai. Been applying for several positions and no reply yet I think my chances are slim anyway. I only have one year of med-surg experience and worse, I only have an Associates Degree. But I am currently in an online RN to BSN program so hopefully that helps.

A little off topic, but anyone know of any clinic/office jobs out in the city? Looking for a per diem/part time job...

Hey kcangel1! Any updates? I am in a similar situation. I'm a new grad and I interviewed last month with the RN recruiter at Mt. Sinai and got a second interview for the NICU. The interview went really well, but I haven't heard back yet. Now it's just a waiting game.

Wow, it would be nice to get a job them. I had been applying since 2006, ranging from staff accountant (I have 3 years exp) janitor, library asst, dietary aide, to RN. I have an adn with no exper so I guess that's why. But they never called me anyway so I had stopped applying to them, it was just frustrating. But it's good to hear some of you got interviews. Good luck to all of you.

Hi Inloves, I still haven't heard anything, it's been about 3 weeks. I've called my nurse recruiter about 3 times and still haven't gotten a call back. What recruiter did you meet with? I met with Nichole. Seemed really nice and told me that whether I got this position or not I was a "good fit for Mt Sinai" so she would find a department for me. But now I haven't heard anything sooooo not really sure if I'll ever hear back from them. My friend interviewed for an oncology position the week after I did, called that same week to follow up, and got the job by the end of the week. She had a different recruiter though.

Hi everyone!!

I've been applying to a lot of positions in Mt Sinai and I haven't gotten anything. What positions did you guys apply for? I'm a new grad with no healthcare background so maybe they wouldn't even consider me?

I know it was a couple of months ago... but I would love to hear from you if Mt. Sinai ever made any contact back. I just found myself in the same situation right now. I never felt so helpless.

I applied a while back to and haven't heard anything. Are they even hiring new grads?

They DO hire new grads! I am a january BSN new grad who got licensed in April and applied to various positions at mt. sinai in april and may. It took them about 2 months to call me for an interview!!!!!! I declined it though because I already accepted a job offer from other hospital! :) There are definitely certain units that hire new grads....not every unit does though from what the nurse recruiter told me on the phone. Good luck!!!
