New Grad program Mercy Hospital 2011

Published

Hi there! i want to start this new thread for those who applied to the new grad program at Mercy Hospital - Bakersfield. I got a call from HR. I need to do the online skill assessment.

I want to say 22...I think. Has anyone applied to the San Joaquin Versant program? Also, does anyone know anyone who has been accepted in previous Mercy Versant programs?

I applied to San Joaquin last month...haven't heard back yet. have you?

hi brodaeia,

I'm sorry for not cheking earlier :/ but to answer to ur question, as brad said there is small quiz that you will take before you go to the interview (2 pages long), they were behind on their schedule and i didnt get to interview until 4 45 (i was scheduled at 3 15). there were 3 interviewers, all very nice... practice your behavioral questions (i was asked like 6 of them) and i think it was like 3 scenario questions... i think there arent too many applicants for NICU bc one of the interviewers asked me...'just in case have you applied for nicu?' me : "no" ... "oh i taught that probably u did but it didnt show on my paper"

that was my experience...... i wish you good luck !! and remember take few seconds to think before you answer the questions :)

Thanks Mali for your response. Wow, that was a lot of waiting around! You were probably glad to be called after that! What was the quiz pertaining to? Situational or factual? This is my first interview so trying to keep the nerves under control. What specialty are you hoping for?

Does anyone know when we will find out about if we got the position? I know it is suppossed to be soon. But I don't know specifics. How did everyone's interviews go? Mine went ok. I always look back and think about could'a should'a would'a...but oh well. It's over and now the wait. Did anyone hear back from San Joaquin? Also, where is everyone also applying?

Hello! I interviewed on Friday. I was told they still have people to interview next week and will start letting people know November 21st. My interview went OK. I am happy with the way I answered question. The whole atmosphere I felt was a little flat. I left there with the feeling that they had either already filled the positions and that they were just going through the motions or that they were just jaded from too many interviews! I asked questions about the program and there just did n't seem to be alot of enthusiam about sharing details of the program with me. I hoping they were just burned out form a long day of interviewing!

Is there any reason you didn't apply to San Joaquin.....if you don't mind me asking?

I was n't aware of it actually. I am from out of the area. I applied to Bakersfield Memorial and was rejected as I had graduated already and then saw the Mercy Program and decided to apply. Best of luck to you. I hope we hear soon! What specialty have you applied for?
