Spring Valley Hospital Interview

[rose red RN]

I have an interview at Spring Valley tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had interviewed there or anywhere recently....... How was the interview - what type of questions did they ask you - the typical ones or more clinical situations or what???

This is my first interview for nursing so I dont know what to expect....

I graduated May of this year and have been looking for a job since july. No this isn't my first interview. The other interviews I had, I was promised the job but I have to wait since there were no new grad positions at that time! So I've been applying to other facilities while waiting. Have you applied to Kindred hospitals? Yes I did call the nurse recruiter every week and left messages in her voicemail since I never had the chance to speak with her. Thanks for the advice! I just want to start working already=c

Oh man...I am never gonna find work! Since July??? Why are these hospitals even interviewing us if there is no new grad positions available? No, I have not tried Kindred yet. I will this week. I have been looking for 2 weeks now (I passed the NCLEX 1st week of Sept) and I feel so thankful that 2 of my Valley applications say forwarded to HR. All the other 30 say "no longer being considered".

Do alot of people in your class have jobs already??? A couple more weeks of this job hunting and I am going to apply at Target for something temporary!

Oh...I forgot to ask...which hospitals did you have interviews at so far? Which ones promised a job to you?

[mnnurse29]

I know..We have to keep on trying! Good luck this week and tell me everything about the interview...Hopefully I will get mine in a few weeks!

i believe some have jobs already.. some relocated to another state.. im nto considering relocation yet.=c Me too I was so surprised I got a call for an interview at Spring Valley, I wasnt expecting any response anymore from them but I'm just glad for the opportunities.

Did you ever get the "Forwarded to HM" response on your apllication status with any of the Valley hospitals and NOT get an interview. My friend says she had a "Pending" for 2 days that ended up turning into a "no longer being considered".

I can't relocate either. It is not an option for me...

[ris_03tdgz]

hi ohmeowzerRN! I have an interview with Spring Valley tomorrow for the medsurg unit!!! I'm a bit nervous and excited at the same time! Do you have any tips for me??

[ohmeowzer RN, RN]

did you have your interview.. sorry i just saw your post.. hope things went well... what job did you apply for ?

[ris_03tdgz]

Hi! just an update..my interview with Spring Valley went very well! I got the job offer the next day but I turned it down because I already accepted a job offer elsewhere.. the managers at spring valley were awesome! They were all very fun and I did not feel nervous at all because they had their way of guiding you through the interview that made you feel relaxed and comfortable. If would've really wanted to work there If I was offered the job sooner than the other hospital that I applied for. They did not ask me a lot of questions..just the basic tell me about yourself, they also asked me to explain the nursing process, what motivates me, why I applied at Spring Valley, and I also made sure to ask them questions.
