Network Analyst II at Ochsner Health System
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New Orleans, LA – Reviewed Mar 13, 2013
Interview Details – Their HR department is the worst on the planet. The person I was working with was great but she was at the mercy of slow co-workers and the hiring manager was dragging his feet as well. I called every other day to keep it fresh in their mind that I was interested.
Interview Question – What are your goals for your career. View Answer
Negotiation Details – There was a counter offer and they raised the amount a bit more but nothing exciting. Dont expect to get much salary if you work for the IT group.

Human Resources Recruiter at Ochsner Health System
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New Orleans, LA – Reviewed Mar 6, 2013
Interview Details – The process was long, but this is not a bad thing. They were looking for the right fit employee. Application online first, then a very long 100+ question survey was completed for mostly clinical preferences. I had no clinical work experience prior to this. Interview with Dept Director, then interviewed with hospital leadership. I also interviewed with the HR dept staff in a panel style interview. Finally interviewed with AVP of HR.

Community Relations at Ochsner Health System
No Offer – Interviewed in New Orleans, LA Apr 2011 – Reviewed Oct 26, 2011
Interview Details – They made me fill out a ridiculous number of forms and questionaires. Then, I was interviewed over the phone by someone in HR, who told me I would be interviewed by a VP, also a phone interview. The VP interview was downright silly. The woman asked pre-canned questions and then wondered aloud if I had "the energy" to do the job. I'm honestly glad it didn't go any further. By the way, the VP had nothing good to say about the doctors at the hospital. She kept complaining that the doctors "think they know everything about everyone's job." Well, her comments told me more about her than the doctors.
Interview Question – "How would you handle a doctor who started yelling at you in the hall?" View Answer

Registered Nurse at Ochsner Health System
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Baton Rouge, LA Feb 2011 – Reviewed Mar 30, 2011
Interview Details – My interview went very well and they were interested in me also. They asked that I do a "shadow shift" to be sure I liked the unit, work pace, employees, etc. I did the shadow shift, which was a night shift. I slept until late afternoon to prepare, drove an hour there and worked 4 hours. They said everything went great and they would be in contact to start hospital orientation. After two weeks and no contact, I called human resources. After they went through my file, the lady said they hired someone else for the position! And they did not even compensate me for the "shadow shift"! I have never heard of a hospital doing this and I certainly would not have wasted my time for free!
Negotiation Details – Don't consider doing a shadow shift!!!! If they change their mind, you get screwed. I wasted an entire day sleeping because I had to be at the hospital for a night shift, spent an hour both ways on the roads to get there (2 hours total), helped the nurses do their work, learn charting and procedures.....and didn't get hired. I didn't even get the decency of a phone call or email to tell me that. I waited 2 weeks to finally have to find out for myself.
