PICU- Cornell interview

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hi everyone,

I am going to be graduating from nursing school in may (so exciting!).

I have had a few interviews already, and I just got a call for another at NYP Cornell for a job in the PICU. PICU is my dream job, so I want to do well in the interview. Does anyone have any advice? Has anyone interviewed her recently? How many beds does the PICU have? Is it similar to NYP Columbia?

Thank you!

Congrats!! I sent you a private message.

Thank you for the private message, I tried to message you back with some questions but sadly I can't PM anyone until I have posted at least 15 times (currently at 13, working my way up haha). I'll try to PM you later today!

Did you apply online for this position? Everytime I try and apply through NYP it gives me questions at the end and then tells me I cannot submit due to not meeting the requirements. I am assuming it is the not having a year of experience thing. Did you answer less than 1 year for your experience? How did you break through? Thanks!

Yes, I applied online. Are you applying through the new grad position? This is how you have to go though. Don't apply to the regular PICU position listed.

Hi esc_newnurse!

Don't know if you remember, but you posted on my thread about NYP a few weeks ago :)

Just wanted to know if you could give some input on applying with NYP!

I remember you said to use my family member as an advantage and I got an email from Talent Acquisition about taking the Nurse Career Battery Test. Did you take that test yet/at all?

I'm getting nervous about it.

PS- How's your situation? Are you working there yet? If so, congrats! :)

I was scheduled to have a phone interview and no one ever called. Has this happened to anyone else? I emailed and called but have heard nothing back yet. I also have a connection with a nurse manager who contacted HR to expedite my application. I'm really confused and do not know what happened. Any thoughts?

hi girl :) i'm currently an RN elsewhere in the city but PICU has always been my dream as well. I'm scheduled for the initial phone interview next week but was wondering (not sure how to message on this website, I just made my username) if you could inbox me as well and fill me in on the type of questions I can expect to be asked by them as well! Thanks so much!

Hi I was given a verbal offer at Nyp cornell for L&D. HR Called me to give me the great news and also told me ill call you back to come in to sign the written offer letter but have to first check your references. How long did it take you to hear from the after the verbal offer?

I hope someone can help me out here. I applied at NYP online, got an email to complete the nursing career battery and then received an email the next day for a phone interview which I did last Thursday with a recruiter. She just asked me why NYP, my experience, etc. She said there was an opening on a unit that I did not apply for but I didn't mind. I just want to get work in the city! Then she said I would be hearing back via email or phone within 2 weeks the next step. Saturday I got a generic-sounding email from another recruiter saying they they will review my resume and get back to me with a formal interview. This is the same thing the recruiter who interviewed me on the phone said. For me, this email sounds like my chances got slim :( at the end of the email it said "we wish you best of luck with your job search." Maybe I'm reading too much into it but to me it sounded like a subtle way that they will put my resume in the back burner.

Btw, I only have an Associates Degree with 1.5 Med/Surg experience. Shocked my application was submitted! Usually my application does not even pass the pre-employment questions (Do you have your BSN? 1 year experience, etc.)

So all you ADN's out there....THERE IS HOPE! ;)

In some instances the BSN thing is rather fluid, especially for ADN nurses with experience. Being as that may don't be surprised upon hire sooner or later being *asked* about going for your four year nursing degree.

Keep on keeping on and good luck!
