I was told there were 15 people interviewed for the IMC position at Seton Medical Center, with 4 open positions.

Did anyone get asked scenario questions at their IMC interviews where they tested knowledge? Or was it more to just get to know you?

I haven't, but I will be shadowing some of the units when I go home for break, so that is my next step. I guess I will find out after that.

By the way, if you have received the messages, does anyone know what C.W. stands for? Or whether C.W. is male or female? Please PM me. Thanks.

Honestly, most of the questions were about items from my resume. It was a panel of unit managers. What I found strange was that you didn't know which units they represented--I even asked and they wouldn't say. Otherwise, they are relaxed, and don't c...

Email today says that all ICU candidates for an on-site interview will be contacted by the end of next week, and that some people have even already had theirs. Has anyone here had an interview for ICU already? How did it go?

Just had a MedSurg interview, haven't heard anything from OR or Children's ED, and only messages from ICU manager as well.

Thanks, BotoxBaby. It is in person. Having to fly in cuts into my tight budget, but I will have just finished my preceptorship and started my Thanksgiving break early so I can make it into a long trip visiting with the family. If I get the job, it wi...

Thanks! I did both. I applied and handed a resume in at open house. They called me.

Just scheduled it... I have an interview with Seton Medical Center Austin's Intermediate Care Unit! :) Can't wait!

I had no idea that was how it worked, only that some units take longer than others. It helps to know that. I also got a call today to schedule the Medsurg interview by phone next week. Yes, she did seem to want to get these arranged as soon as possib...

mpihl: Have you heard anything from Children's ED? I have been listed as routed for a long time, it seems.

Hey guys! So, I just wanted to add to the conversation about the Open House now that I am back in town. For those worried about having little experience in a specialty, I heard reps in the ICU units say--twice--they were more interested in finding a ...

Sorry BotoxBaby, I don't know. I received an email from the Director of ICU recently, along with other ICU applicants. The ED position was posted a while after the ICU one, so I assume that it might be a while still for y'all.

Thanks ktlam. Will email you next time. So excited guys! After my final skills checkoff tomorrow (basically draw any major skill out of a hat and should be able to assess, perform, and document properly), I will be on my way to the airport! Should b...

Holy cow, really? Should be interesting...

So which one did you end up choosing, and why?

Anyone been to an Open House before? How is it run? Do we walk from station to station and talk to different unit representatives, similar to a job fair? And will it be super crowded, considering the applicant pool? Just want to know want I am walkin...

That's great that you got the offer. Since you are fresh from the interviewing process, can you share a little bit about how it went? Or tips on how best to prepare?

please ignore this posting...was fooling around with features...and since I can't delete it.....well, here we are.

Like a dutiful nurse-to-be, I covered all bases: I replied to the email with the information, I updated the application, AND called. LOL. I got an immediate reply by email stating all was good. So now the ball seems to be rolling along for everyone.....

Oh, but I also got an email stating my school didn't show up in the application form on their end and to go back and enter it....whahhhhhh! Hope that doesn't cause a delay. Any other out-of-staters run into this? Should I be entering a code for my sc...

ktlam, I am signed up for the 1pm slot. I will literally be heading from there back to the airport! And my stuff is listed as routed as well. Would not have checked if botoxbaby hadn't mentioned it. Thanks!

Me too, me too! Flying in as well. ; )

Also, have you tried emailing them? I have received replies via email within usually 2 days. I never got through with the phone calls to Versant. However, I did leave a message and they always left one in return (I was usually in class). Once you hit...
