Sharp Summer 2011 New Grad Program

Published

For those who applied to Sharps summer 2011 program

has anyone heard anything yet?

Hello All

I had no phone interview, rather they scheduled me for a panel interview. What would be potential areas to focus on? Since it is for Med/Surge Tele (Sharp CV) I am going to look up things along those lines. In addition I am going to look up their (Sharp) Mission and core beliefs. Are there any other areas of focus I should consider?

For those who have Sharp Chula Vista panel interviews, I was informed that there is currently construction going on. Plan to leave a bit earlier than usual to find parking around the area prior to your interview.

I am planning to do the same. Do you know how many people they are taking for the residency program? Thanks for the heads up on the parking situation!

I called them and asked for how many applicants they are interviewing, and the lady said it depends on which group/batch you are in. For the first one I think there are 16, and for the second one there are 14 so far. She doesn't know how many positions available but she said we could ask during our panel interview. Good luck to us :yelclap:

Sharp Grossmont's ED just started making calls. I got the job! I was too floored to ask how many positions they were offering! I think she said they interviewed about 25 people total.

MGM619- The hardest question I was asked was, "Out of the 200 very qualified applications we reviewed, what is the one thing you want me to remember about you?"

I wasn't prepared and had to take a moment to collect my thoughts. They also asked about challenges/obstacles I've faced and how I handled them. Definitely lots of behavioral questions to see how you think. It was a bit daunting to be sitting at the end of a large table opposite five interviewers. Just be as confident and calm as you can. Good luck!!

Someone else asked what our backgrounds were, so: I have my BSN from Sacramento State, I was in the Navy for 5 years as a Hospital Corpsman, I graduated in December 2010 and have ACLS, PALS and an EKG course. I had a 3.9 GPA, which I only mention because the recruiter requested my final transcript before calling to schedule an interview. I'd definitely say that if you can afford it, get the ACLS and if interested in peds PALS/NRP.

Good luck everyone. UCSD's new grad postings are still up, I think there are five or six units hiring this time around. I had a lot of rejections before I got this break so keep your heads up! "Just keep swimming!"

To those who have phone interviews at Sharp Memorial -

Are the questions solely behavioral or are there some situation and critical thinking questions?? Thank you!
