Hey Guys,

I'm new here, but lurking for over a year. I wanted to see if anyone has applied for WHC's New Grad program that starts on April 28th. Have you heard anything yet?

Take care! :-)

OMG, I'm so glad you mentioned that. I thought something was wrong with my computer. Is there another way to view status changes?

Hey fitness, just checking if you heard anything. I logged into the application site and it said my application had a status update but not what the status was, lol.

I have accepted another offer with another hospital in the ICU so I will not be going to the interview (I already let them know).The interview is by "invite only" and its on the 25th of March. Good luck to you all!

I interviewed with WHC in Feb for the March start. Worst interview experience ever... You basically come to a job fair with 50 other people and get shuffled around between managers and HR. You are given the opportunity to chose what unit you want to go to but you are not even guaranteed to interview with any of your top 3 units. I chose Cardiac, Pulmonary and ER. I interviewed for a orthopedic floor. You have to go in there with your best face on because you get lost in the crowd. Also you have a better chance of being hired if you have your DC license. It takes over a month to get it through endorsement if you live in Virginia so be prepared. I interviewed with 4 facilities in the area and WHC was the only one I wasn't made an offer for. I have a feeling it was because I didn't stand out and I was a bit freaked out by the sheer number of people who were there. Good luck everyone!
