First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at UW Health.
Registered Nurse
I interviewed for the Registered Nurse position and met with the unit manager and two CNS's. They asked some basic questions, nothing too challenging. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job, which was disappointing. What was more frustrating was the HR department's extreme delay in getting back to me; I had to call them many times. They didn't offer any constructive feedback, just saying they liked me but didn't have enough open positions.
- Can you introduce yourself?
Registered Nurse
First, you submit your application, resume, goal statement, and unofficial transcript. Then, they'll email you to enter 4 references, who will then get an email to complete a survey and rate you. After that, there's a phone interview where they'll chat about the program, ask some questions, and talk about the units you're interested in. Finally, they'll set up an interview with a specific unit.
- Tell me about a time you did more than was expected to help someone.
- Can you recall a situation where you went the extra mile for someone?
- What units are you hoping to work on?
Nurse
I had a phone interview first. Then, for the second interview, I had the choice between Zoom or an in-person interview. The first interview was really straightforward, with four general questions about me and the units I picked. For the second interview, it felt like they were reading directly from a pamphlet and taking notes. It was me facing a board of people.
- Can you share an instance where you made an error and how you rectified it?
- Describe a situation where you were given feedback and how you applied it.
- Tell me about a time you encountered dishonesty from someone and how you dealt with the situation.
