Presentation Behavioral
I was called in for an in-person interview and given a specific time and date. It was a panel interview with three interviewers. They gave me the org chart, duty statement, and the five interview questions printed out. Before starting the questions, they asked if I had any questions about the org chart or duty statement, and I was also given a chance to ask questions at the end.

Behavioral Technical
I interviewed with two staff members who mostly stuck to a script for their questions. After that, I had to do a six-page math and sorting task. It involved figuring out how to schedule processing tasks on a calendar and doing basic math like adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing without a calculator. They told me it could take up to three months for my background check and the final job offer.

First, you fill out a basic online application. Then, you take an online test about the position. After that, you have an in-person interview with two people, which is basically an oral exam. They'll give you four scenarios that a Health Facility Evaluator Nurse (HFEN) usually deals with. Finally, you go to a room and have 30 minutes to write two essay answers on how you'd handle those situations.
