Behavioral Technical

New grad interview - we went into an auditorium where there were several tables set up, each with one person interviewing candidates. The interviewers included educators, the director, managers, and charge nurses. They asked questions about prioritization and your thoughts on the population we serve, as well as why you're interested in PIHGSH.

Confirmed questions2 questions

I had a single in-person interview lasting around 30 minutes. It was with the unit's clinical director, assistant clinical director, and educator. They asked typical questions like what are your strengths and weaknesses, and to describe a time when something happened.
