I didn’t have any clinical questions! All behavioral. I feel like they were really looking for the right personalities to fit on the unit rather than skill set. Sharp really emphasizes culture so I think it’s important to answer your questions as someone who can benefit the team (communication, team work, leadership, etc.)

Why Sharp and that particular unit. A difficult patient encounter. How I took initiative in a situation that was a safety issue. Valuable criticism that I received in the past. Describe a time when I experienced a “win” (that one was so random imo LOL). Describe a stressful situation and the steps I took afterwards. Honestly it was a lot of scenario based questions so have lots of past situations ready. It was like rapid fire questions. 3 interviewers and they all took turns asking questions. Interview was no more than 30 min.

No I haven’t. I also got a verbal offer but I was told I wouldn’t hear anything for a while and that I would get more info a month or so before the start of the program.

No idea! That’s just what I was offered for memorial

48 base. $2 differential for BSN. $4 differential for over night!

Just got a verbal offer for memorial! I’m acute care!! So excited ?

Does anyone have any insight on how many new grads they hire on a unit? I know this varies greatly but just wondering if anyone has any exclusive info about this lolol

I just checked and mine still says "completed"

@kvt1013 I have an interview with memorial and it’s in person! They didn’t email you with interview details?

I was reading the post that mentioned March and I think that person is applying to for a different start date. There was an application that opened around March for a June start date. This thread is for the August/October start date. I dunno why that person mentioned that information here LOL but it was confusing. As far as the Modern Hire video interview, I got sent a link to do it literally right after applying. Did you not get an email for it immediately?

I got the email for the top three choices the same time as you. I got an email from one of the acute care units at Memorial last week to schedule an interview.

Yes, BSN from a California school. Don't have my license yet but graduate next month. I work at Sharp so I'm an internal applicant!

For Sharp, a recruiter reached out to me and asked what my top 3 preferences were. Then I was offered an interview maybe a few weeks after. No video information. When I said they were similar I was talking mainly about the application that was filled out. I guess the video interviews for scripps is technically part of the application but I don't think everyone gets the ModernHire interview email depending on what was inputed in the application.

I also applied! It sounds like a lot of the hospitals are switching to this application style for the new grad programs. Like they have a general application then filter it out later. Sharp's application was similar.

I got an email from Memorial from Acute Care and it had me RSVP before a certain time on a certain date but that time and date had already passed by the time I received the email. I RSVP'd anyway and was emailed by the next day. I know that they've been having issues with Workday (new system) so that could be why? Also, check your spam or other folders. For some reason I would get the emails in another folder. I'm also internal

For those who got an offer, can I ask what they offered for pay rate?

I got an email today for an interview at Sharp Memorial Acute Care!

When does that program start? I graduate in May too! What did you put down for your projected NCLEX date?

I got an email from Sharp Memorial on Tuesday asking for my preference ranking. Anyone else apply to Memorial? First choice was acute care ? I'm also internal.

Yes thanks for making this! I was lurking this sub the other day and almost made a post but wasn't sure if it was too early haha. I graduate in the beginning of May so I don't know if I'll even be considered since the program starts so close to my graduation. Where did you guys apply? Any internal applicants?

I emailed -------------- last week and asked for my scores! He told me what my alternate # was too. I had an 84 TEAS and 3.5 GPA

I was #2. I really didn't think they would be taking any alternates so I already mentally prepared to apply for the next cohort.

For those who were alternates, check soar!! I checked today and got in ^_^ So excited!

I got alternate as well! I’m pretty sure that means we have to wait another two weeks for people to accept/reject LOL even more nerve wracking hopefully they take us!

Thank you for emailing them!! Honestly so nerve wracking. I dreamt about getting an email from them this week too lolol How many people did they say they interviewed again? 80 or 90?
