RN New Grad Residency: Postpartum Huntington Memorial Hospital (Pasadena, CA)

Published

Hi Everyone,

I passed my phone interview and the first round of interviews (with the hiring manager and nurse supervisor) for the maternity/nursery new grad residency program at Huntington (Pasadena, CA). I am now moving forward to the 2nd round of interviews that is with a panel of staff and the other candidates (yup, everyone will be in the room at the same time).

I have never been this far in an interview process and am wondering if anyone has any advice/tips/insight on what types of questions will most likely be asked, what they are looking for, and how to stand out among fellow candidates. I want this so badly and really want to do well!

I appreciate any words of wisdom/encouragement. Thanks! :)

Hi Curious Nurse, when did you apply to the position and when did you hear back? I been applying to new grad positions at Huntington and am curious as to the timeline.

Thanks in advance and good luck on your interview!!

Hi Polo Goalie!

I applied to their program the end of September and didn't hear back until the beginning of November. I think it takes a while for them to respond since there are so many applicants to review. I know they also repost/renew their new grad posts a couple of times to allow more people to apply. Best of luck to you! :up:

I have had interviews with multiple employees in one interview and it can very intimidating. I have usually gotten the question " What are your strengths and Weaknesses ? Which may be passe' by now. They will ask how you handle situations on the unit, How you get along with staff. They will be observing your demeanor and body language. So practice in a mirror to see how you look. So smile and act confident even if you don't! Call backs can take time depending how many interview. You can call and ask if a decision has been made and tell them that you are still interested.
