hi eknicurn! what do you mean by a few people have left recently? did the applicants back out? or there have been some staff that resign? so interns still have the chance to leave during orientation? how is the tenure of interns during orientation? can they just be terminated anytime during probationary? thanks!

Hi boisern84! Being able to stay for 2 years can also mean that you're enjoying your work, isn't it? how was your usual day in the unit? does the unit need some additional staff at the moment? or it has been filled out?

Thank you so much for the info nurseJS.. :) on what unit have you been accepted?

wow! that was quick! is that on 4E? congratulations!happiness5! :)

Woah! thank you so much for the great info EKnicuRN! :) Congratulations that you'll be off orientation soon! That's so cool ;p

But your really lucky to have an interview with them,, I know someone who also applied there with a DC license but haven't heard anything yet... So they might have seen something really special in your application for giving you that chance! :)

BTW, do you have past working experience in a healthcare setting?

Goodluck! For sure you'll do well,, mild anxiety can help bring out the best in you! Keep us posted about your experience in WHC! thanks!

HI Happiness5! I have read in some posts that they're giving patient scenarios, then asks what if questions... plus the usual interview questions... congrats that you've been given a chance for interview,, when did you pass your application? how long does it take before you hear a call from them? I think it's a good unit, because I've talked to some staff of other departments and they've also started working there and they said they learned a lot,,

How does the internship program goes? how many days are lecture days and duty in the first few weeks? new grad RNs kindly give us an idea.. thank you!

hi! is there anyone here that can tell me about this hospital? patient acuity and the environment... how was the interview and the employment process? any info will be appreciated thanks!

congrats Hisown! on what area are you working?

hi ufblondi! on what area are you working? how was the program? so they do not require any commitment after the program.. well, that's good news.. thanks for the info!

Congratulations to both of you! On what unit are you accepted? Are you new grads? I am also interested to work with WHC but haven't received a call yet... So they are filling 2 programs already? one in feb and one for july? Hope to hear from both of you.. :) BTW, I've also heard regarding the commitment for a certain period of time after the orientation but I can't see it on their website... Maybe you should contact the nurse recruiter...

hi EKnicuRN are you given patient scenarios in the interview? were you able to shadow a nurse? any info will be very much appreciated thanks :)

Hi amy! I have submitted my application then received a call for about a week or two,, Thank you and Goodluck for us new grads! :)

Hi justine! I've seen that you've been very helpful in answering questions in this website... I will soon be having an interview with Tara and it will be my first job interview,, I hope you can give me an overview on how the interview goes,, Should I expect patient care scenarios? Any info will be very much appreciated! thank you! Merry xmas! :)

hi kimima 01! how did you apply for the internship at GW? congrats and goodluck on your interview!

Your replies are really of great help! I'm getting a lot of ideas on what to expect on my first job interview... Yeah, i've been really persistent in following up my application though sometimes i also think that they may be annoyed,, I've applied to all positions available for Residency Program!lol! So, when are you suppossed to have the orientation? I'm really looking forward for an interview,, hope to see you on orientation! lol! goodluck on your NCLEX

Thank you for the reply jerseyjess :) I think you're really good to make it that fast! Do you have previous hospital working experience? I have submitted my application even before I have taken the NCLEX-RN and have updated my application everytime, but still did not get an interview... I'm kinda worried because I am an international BSN grad without any working experience,, I graduated last April, passed the nursing board in our country last june and passed the nclex this november,,, I am also volunteering in WHC, just to have an experience here in the US.. I have applied to a lot of hospitals in DC and MD but did not hear any call at all... Just early this week, a manager from WHC informed me that the HR should contact me for an interview with her but they haven't called me yet.. I'm still praying that I will be accepted for the Feb program, coz my new grad status is about to lapse this april... Do you have any advice for me to get my first RN job even if i'm an international graduate? thank you! :)

Hi new grads! Have you been accepted or currently applying in any new grad RN program here in DC? Have you been hired in any of the hospitals? What hospitals did you apply to? How was the process and how long do you wait before you can hear a response from them? Any info will be very much appreciated...thanks! :)

jerseyjess,,,, how long does it take before the WHC-HR called you for an interview? how was it? BTW congrats for the ER position... i hope you can give me an overview regarding the hiring process for new grads in WHC.. thank you! :)
