It was a quick virtual interview with several team members. They asked me questions about patient care and my personal strengths and weaknesses. The conversation with the team was very relaxed and friendly. They gave a good description of the unit and were happy to answer all my questions.

Behavioral Technical Case
I sent in my application online and then got an email with a few extra questions. After that, I was chosen for an interview and picked a date from the available ones. The interview went great! First, HR talks with you about benefits and salary. Then, you meet with the unit manager. Definitely study up on the pathology and clinical scenarios for the unit you want! They need to see you can think critically. I did well because I prepared a lot, but some people didn't get the job and had to reapply for their second choice unit since they were surprised by the clinical questions. After the interview, the unit manager gave me her contact info to set up a shadow shift. It was a good experience overall!
