Providence TIPS April 2021

Published

Hello! 

This will be the thread for all those applying to Providence SOCAL April 2021! 

I submitted my application today. This is my second time applying. I applied for the September (didn't have my RN lic at the time) cohort but didn't get selected for an in person interview. Last time I was requested to do a video interview. This time I received a self paced text only interview. 

Best of luck to everyone ? 

For the new grads who are receiving invitations to interview at Mission and St Joe’s, have you all taken the NCLEX or have a test date?

Hi.

I interviewed for ED at St. Joe's this week (external, new grad), and I am scheduled to take my NCLEX next Thursday 2/18. I got my ATT 1/20 and I applied to the BRN on 12/12/2020

Best of luck!

If you don’t mind sharing, what kind of questions did they ask you? Behavior or clinical?

So I interviewed with an ED Nurse Educator, Trauma Nurse Lead, and Charge RN. They were super kind and easy to talk to. The questions were 80% behavioral, 10% Prioritization, 10% Why should you chose Providence (and why Providence should choose you). There were no clinical knowledge-based questions, which surprised me! I believe this is true for all specialties/departments.

I hope this helps!

There were clinical knowledge-based questions, which totally threw me off! But I went back and looked on the website, they pretty much only ask behavioral questions, for all departments.

Thanks!

@Kellz oops! I meant to say there were NO clinical knowledge-based questions! Ahhh, sorry... that one little word makes a huge difference LOL.

Applied to the BRN 11/27/20, application finally approved on 2/11/21 (yesterday), no ATT yet. :( Hopefully, that will come sometime today. I seriously feel this is affecting my not receiving any interview invites, as everyone I have asked  to crit my resume said I am a strong applicant. Anyone else have similar experience? Does not having a test date as long as I am licensed before the start date, matter this much?

Yes! I just received an email from Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank for an interview on March 1st. I applied as an internal new grad and listed med-surg/tele (1st), step-down (2nd), and critical care (3rd) as my choices.

I scheduled my NCLEX for 3/5/21. The recruiter said that as long as you pass your NCLEX prior you're fine.
