So, first thing was a phone screen with a recruiter, just to see if I was a good fit and check my background. Then I went in for an on-site interview. It was pretty quick, only about 30 minutes, and I talked to three people. They mostly asked behavioral questions, you know, using the STAR method, to see how I handle problems, work with others, and deal with tough stuff.

The whole thing took 3 months, starting with an initial interview, then a second one, and finally an offer. The first interview was with a manager, and the second one was with an assistant director and a director. I got the offer about a week after the second interview. It was mostly behavioral questions. The compensation was okay, and I did try to negotiate, but only got an extra 1k.

Behavioral Case

The application process for the Nurse Residency Program was straightforward, but it's important to be patient as The Children's Hospital (TCH) can take a while to respond. I applied for the Summer 2024 cohort, which involved submitting a general application including a letter of recommendation, an essay, and my resume. I recommend having these documents prepared in advance. After submitting, you'll rank your unit preferences, with many residency positions typically available in the TMC. My timeline was: applied in February, received an interview invitation in March, and had my interview the last week of March. I received and accepted a job offer for my first-choice unit just a week after the interview.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Can you introduce yourself?
  • Describe a situation where you observed an incorrect task or procedure, how you addressed it, and the result.
  • Recount an experience with a clinical case unfamiliar to you, detailing your approach to learning about the disease and your key takeaways.

I applied online and then a recruiter called me for a screening a few days later. They then emailed me some times for a virtual interview with the hiring manager. It was kind of hard to schedule though because they only gave like 1 or 2 days notice, which is tough when you're already working. The interview with the hiring manager seemed to go okay. But then I never heard back, so I emailed the recruiter for an update about 2 weeks later and they totally ghosted me. Super unprofessional from both the manager and recruiter, honestly. A quick rejection email wouldn't kill them.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • I was asked 10 S.T.A.R. questions by HR.
  • The manager asked a few questions more specific to the actual position.
