Hi Pancakes 113, I'm a RN with 9 years of experience and just graduated with Master of Public Administration. My experience includes care coordination/management, global health, cardiac step down and etc. I'm interested in transitioning my role from healthcare organization to management consulting as well. I actually submitted my resume and setup a phone interview at McKinsey and Company for healthcare related role. I don't know anyone with similar experience or background and would love to speak with you. It seems like you did really well with your interviews. Are you currently working at a firm? Do you have any advices on how to prepare for interviews? Thank you!

I actually got a job that I really wanted on second interview after I never got a response from first one for about months! After first interview, and after nervously waiting for months, I noticed the position was posted again on their web site. Went ahead and applied. Got a response that time, stating they would like to see me again for second interview. A few days later my interview, I got a phone call and I was offered the position. Turns out they wanted me to come into second interview to begin with, however, there was a change in management or something thus interview process was delayed, they said. Thus, I would say you still have a chance and I would think that they might appreciate the fact that you are really interested! One of things they said was they were impressed that I did my research and showed that I was very interested.

Hey there. I am a US educated RN who used to live in South Korea trying to find a work as RN. Unfortunately, there is no way they will allow you to work unless you speak fluent Korean in almost all hospitals there. Funny thing is I, myself, am a Korean and having AAS didn't help anything because apparently I didn't have enough credits (although I already had my RN license in the States and have had about 1 year of working experience as RN) and Korean nursing programs are either 3-year-diploma program or BSN. I ended up finding a job at one of the biggest medical centers in Seoul. Not as an official RN but they did appreciate the fact I was foreign educated. I guess this only happened because department I got a job at was one of special clinics in hospital - where they only had foreign patients coming in everyday. I do not think you could work there though unless you are fluent in Korean. On the other hand, working at above mentioned job, I learned there are couples US military hospitals who will hire American civillians and will not require you to have Korean RN license. One of most well-knowns are called 121 general hospital (I think they call Brian all goods or something these days). Sorry I cannot seem to remember address for job site. Try googling 'em up and good luck!
