First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Cooper University Health Care.
Nurse
Yes, during clinicals I was assigned to complete a full head-to-toe assessment on a patient who was not very cooperative and gave minimal responses. I found it challenging because I needed accurate information, but communication was limited. To manage this, I adapted my approach by being patient, using simple and clear questions, and relying more on observation and physical assessment skills. I also reviewed the patient’s chart and collaborated with my preceptor to fill in any gaps. Even though it was difficult, I was still able to complete a thorough assessment and ensure the patient’s needs were addressed. This experience taught me how to stay flexible, use multiple resources, and remain calm when situations aren’t ideal.

Registered Nurse
After applying online, I got an email from a recruiter to see if I was interested in working there and which unit I preferred. Then I spoke with the recruiter on the phone and got a Zoom link for the interview. They said I'd hear back about the outcome in 1-2 weeks, but it's been 2 weeks and 1 day and I still haven't heard anything.
