It was a standard interview process. First, a phone interview, then an in-person one. They asked situational questions about how I'd handle conflict with patients, coworkers, and difficult patients. They also asked about my previous experience, my strengths, and areas where I could improve. They also asked about situations where I went above and beyond for a patient.

I applied online and heard back from HR about a week later for a 15-minute screening phone interview. The recruiter mentioned she would pass my info to the hiring manager, and if they thought I was a good fit, I'd get an in-person interview. About two weeks after that, I was invited for an in-person interview which included a tour of the unit. A week later, I got a formal job offer and was asked to come in to complete paperwork.

I talked to a recruiter to set up an interview, but it got cancelled because another applicant accepted the position. The recruiter helped me find another opening, and I interviewed with the nurse manager on Teams. That position also went to another candidate who had more seniority on the floor. The recruiter helped me find yet another opening. I interviewed with the nurse manager on that floor, and they just asked about my availability and expectations. I got offered the job the same day.
