It was the basic interview questions like tell me about yourself, what would you do in this scenario, stressful situations, strengths and weakness and many more questions. Heard employees are very cliquey and only easy to get in through internal.

I spoke with the recruiter first, and she asked me some basic questions along with some skill-based and scenario-based questions. Then, I was contacted by administration to set up an interview with the Director of Nursing for a specific unit. The Director and I talked about my interest in the company, what a typical day was like in my previous role, my skill set, and my career goals. After that, I received an email requesting 5 references. Four days later, I got a job offer. I then had to take and pass an EKG test before starting the pre-employment process.

It was a very quick and professional interview process. A nurse recruiter reached out first, then I spoke with the unit manager. The interview included a panel discussion and a skills test, which is typical for RN roles. There was also a urine drug screen. I got a tour of the unit and met some of the staff. After accepting the offer, some of the staff I met sent a welcome email.
