Hi! Making this so we can all talk about the process together.
Thanks!
It was fairly smooth. After checking in I waited for about 20 minutes and then they called me into interview with a panel of 4 hiring managers from Scripps La Jolla. They asked about 8 typical personality-based questions and then went on to a 21 question "rapid fire" round. They were all very friendly and took notes throughout the interview. Overall it was a great first interview experience, regardless of whether or not I get the job. Good luck!
I think it went well. They were intrigued by some of my answers and then when I asked them questions at the end one of the supervisors told me I had great questions.. so I'm hopeful. I absolutely loved the panel I had and would love to work for them so I'm hopeful but not too optimistic because I felt so nervous.
Does anyone know how we were paired up with hospital that we interviewed with?
I live in Carlsbad and I interviewed with Scripps Chula Vista. The manager asked me why I was interviewing with Chula Vista if I live in North County and she seemed to be concerned about my drive. Of course I told her that I was willing to make the drive because working for Scripps is my dream, but I felt that it could affect me getting hired. As a matter of fact, in my cover letter I stated that I wanted Encinitas, hoping I could get an interview with them. The manager also asked me why I was interviewing for the new grad program if I have 4 months acute care RN experience...? She also made that a huge deal...she said I should have just applied for a regular position..........but I thought you needed at least one year experience?

I had mine too, at about 11:45. I feel like it went well, but honestly I have no idea. I was trying to gauge their response to figure out how interested they were, but I couldn't tell one way or the other. I'm still in the "over-analyzing everything I said" phase so I feel like there's so many things I wish I would have articulated better. But it's done so all I can do is pray í ½í¸‚ How did yours go?
