I got the job on the heart failure/pulmonary unit in January. The interview process was super long.. It was even longer than the orientation! There seem to be a good amount of new grads, not too many on my floor but lots on other floors. If anyone applies to NMH, beware that the orientation is quite short and stressful, but once you get acclimated, it's a great place to work. All the nurses are super helpful. Team work is a major theme on my floor. Love that this is the unit, I ended up on.

Hello! I have been a nurse for a year now and am looking to score a position a Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I have had the phone interview with HR, the personal interview with the managers on the unit I applied for, and have shadowed a nurse on the unit for 4 hours. I waited two weeks to hear from them after the shadowing. When they finally called, they said they were pursuing other applicants, but would like me to shadow on another unit (heart failure unit). Although, I am very glad I have another chance, I am not sure what went wrong on the first unit. I was wondering if any current or former employees know what they are looking for during the shadowing round of the interview process. I suspect this was the troublesome phase because they said I was a good fit for Northwestern, just not that particular floor. I would really appreciate any advice because I called the managers to ask for some feedback so that I can correct my mistakes, but I did not receive a response from them. Also, this process has taken over a month. Is that typical for this facility?
