Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
Registered Nurse
Communication and expectations throughout the interview process were awful. No one explained the interview process to me. Then when I shadowed, the other nurses were incredibly unwelcoming. While they seemed to have great interpersonal relationships (which I admired), they excluded me and literally avoided eye contact during interactions. It was very strange and uncomfortable. I made more meaningful connections with the MDs on the floor than any of the nurses. Then, after the nurse manager told me they'd be in contact with me in a few days, I had to reach out to them after a week.
- Can you share an instance where you had to adapt your patient care approach due to their cultural background?
Nurse
The whole interview process was virtual. It had three separate rounds: recruiter, manager, and peer interviews. This was the hospital's protocol because of the pandemic at the time. It's a strange experience not being able to see your work environment.
- What made you choose Barnes?
Registered Nurse
I had two interviews, and one went way better than the other. The managers seemed really open and enthusiastic about the role, and they wanted to make sure I understood exactly what the job entailed and how I could be successful in it.
- Can you tell me about your background and experience?
- What do you consider your greatest strengths and areas for development?
