Washington Hospital Center Residency February 2011 COHORT

[NewRN1986]

Hello everyone I wanted to start a separate thread for people interviewing for the February 2011 Residency, I just got the e-mail a couple of minutes ago saying that I will be interviewing in December 16, I graduated in May and this is my first interview so I am a little bit nervous.

If anybody that went to program has any tips, I will appreciate it! Thanks!

I have my interview confirmed for 1/11. What exactly happens at the interview? It's a group interview? How long did it take from interview until an offer was made? And what is the starting salary?

HI Jeanette73

On your scheduled interview day individually interview with a nurse recruiter/human resources and then you interview with a floor manager which is one of your top 3 picks, looks like for the most part you interview with your first choice. They are super nice, no clinical type questions for me personally, just asking you about experience, etc. In terms to offers being made they told us as soon as they hear back from the manager you interview with they let you know they said up to a week, but most times you hear back sooner. The starting salary is 27.68/hr. and differentials

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!

[Mills10]

I had regular interview questions related to nursing from the nurse recruiter and nursing director. The nursing director I interviewed will also asked me clinical scenario questions and asked how I would respond.

I was more nervous than I needed to be. It was a welcoming envioronment.
