Nurse Extern Interview

I have never done this program before but I have heard great things about it & that they are more likely to hire those who have had an extern position with them before graduating! Good luck with your interview! Someone posted this link on here before about interview preparation for nursing positions, and I found it to be very helpful!

Thanks for sharing!

I have a 1:1 interview with Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for a summer extern program. I went through the HR phone interview, but am now flying to Chicago to interview with the unit manager. I don't know how this is going to go, and have read varying things on interview questions etc. Has anyone ever interviewed with them before? What was it like, and what did they ask? Also, has anyone ever done this program before and if so did they like it? THANKS!

I actully was going to apply for this but will only have 1 semester of clinical so will apply next summer. Can you tell me a little about the phone interview and what you think set apart from other applications?

I honestly do not know what set me apart. They ask you questions like why northwestern, what would your clinical instructor say about you, tell me about a time you went beyond normal care for a patient (or something like that), have you ever had a conflict with a fellow student or co-worker/if so how did you handle it... They ask you really standard questions, then ask you a set of behavior questions. I was on the phone for like 45 minutes to an hour. My HR recruiter was really sweet and nice. I think I actually did better with the phone interview than the actual interview. I got asked way more questions in the phone interview than the 1:1 interview.
