Has anyone interviewed and heard back from WF for the Fall 2023 class?

[CritCare5]

That's awesome! Congrats on accepting! Was the clinical room based on patient scenarios they gave you? Or more general knowledge based questions? I haven't filled out the questionnaire yet, so I'm wondering if less is better so I can really study that specific section. Thanks!

They gave me a scenario of a patient who coded in the field. Gave me age, vitals, & minimal details about his angioplasty. Then asked me what I wanna know, what I would do, and what I recommend to the Drs. It was very specific to the patient pop I am familiar with. Things you would know without having to study as long as you have been caring for these patients for over a year or two. I was really proactive in taking device training classes and watching vids/looking up info on MAR about drips my patients were on.I’m sure that probably helped. The only things I studied going into application season was MOA of drugs I use weekly (all pressors & antiHTN drips, common sedation, and common cardiac meds like Amio, lido, atropine, etc). 

[CritCare5]

Thank you so much!! Very helpful! Are you CVICU? Has anyone with a MICU background interviewed? 

[ashp88]

Yea I’m cardiac but we don’t do CV/CT surgeries (CABG, Fresh Transplant, BOLT, etc. our sister unit does these). We specialize in STEMIs, cardiac devices & med optimization for any cardiac condition in pre-surgical phase or that doesn’t require surgery.

What do you mean exactly? The applications are rolling and have been since Feb, so most people have already gotten in for 2023.

Heard anything this week. I had my interview a few days ago.

I heard it takes a month from friends. Got any clinical interview tips?

My co worker got a call a few days after so it sounds like it varies!

Oh, haha. That makes sense. Hopefully you get in! I withdrew my application because I was accepted elsewhere so that’s one more spot for you all!

Are they still telling people 60 days to hear back after an interview? They didn’t give me any information on when I would hear anything.

I was waitlisted! I found out on my application there’s a decision letter, no email or call though. I interviewed October 4
