Stanford Nurse Residency August 2023 Cohort 39

Published

Hello everyone, 

I just wanted to submit this here to start a place where all of us who have applied to Stanford's nurse residency program can communicate. This is for cohort 39, which has a start date of August 21, 2023. I hope we all get in!

I interviewed for the Medical Division yesterday but just saw they emailed an updated zoom link for those interviewing today. Just a heads up!

I'm not sure if they will only pick one for every panel, a classmate and I interviewed in the same clinical trials panel group and were both invited back for a second interview :))

Awesome! Can I ask wht time your Panel was?

Mine is next week and they gave me an option to do either but I had to opt for zoom bc I'll be out of the area! 

My friend had the 2nd one today and said that it was more of "getting to know you questions". They didn't get asked any additional behavioral questions! 

Thanks for your reply!! Wishing you luck ? 

 

do you know what unit your friend did her 2nd interview for?

No, but I think the moderator said they would be making calls by Friday?  She said "Friday the 24th", but since the 24th is a Saturday I'm assuming if I don't hear anything by tomorrow evening that's it.  Good luck to you!!

That was the toughest interview. I really prepared for it but my anxiety took over big time. Other candidates may have had a different (positive) experience (and kudos to you) but I want to be REAL here for a second. All 4 of my candidates and I were BEYOND nervous. We were shaky in our voices the entire time but we remained professional. One candidate left the interview mid-way because they couldn't find an answer to the question. I felt SO SAD for that candidate.... AND it almost happened to me!! I couldn't answer one of the questions because I did not have experience related to it so I had to share another similar experience to the best of my knowledge while remaining under 2 mins. I don't know guys.. it was a horrible, neutral experience for me and probably for the candidates that I was with as well. 

I am still waiting to hear back at this moment in time. I am still recovering from it and taking it as a positive experience for future interviews. But, if I do not get a second interview, I am not going to be upset... I should never have to feel that much anxiety and tension in an interview ever. So words of advice.. do the best you can, show your personality, and take it as a learning experience. Don't ever get yourself down if you feel like you weren't good enough. YOU are enough and be kind to yourself during this job hiring process for any hospital. You will soon find your place in life. 

Hopefully, my vulnerability will make others feel less alone. I wish everyone the best and send all my support. xx

@ikerr so well said!  I was totally emotionally worn out the rest of the day after the interview.  There were a couple of questions that I had to "wing it" on, and they may not have been the greatest answer, but like you said: we aren't perfect and we ARE students with very little clinical experience, so we just have to try to be our authentic selves, and hope that the fit is right.  I am also chalking it up to experience, and knowing that I will end up wherever I am supposed to be.  Just do those interviews and apply and let the chips fall where they may!!
