First I did a phone screening with a recruiter, then the nurse manager from the unit I applied to called me directly. The chat with the nurse manager was more about explaining the unit than an actual interview.

The interview process was long, partly due to my personal circumstances like moving back to the area. I had three phone interviews before coming in for an in-person interview in December, which was challenging for me because I'm not used to group interviews. Normally, my interviews are brief and focus on my skills. I prepared for it, hoping my strong skills and personality would be enough. A major disappointment was the delay in feedback; they said I'd hear back in two weeks, but it was the holidays. Fortunately, I had a backup plan. I was looking for a full-time, permanent position and wanted to move away from travel nursing.

Getting to the interview location was straightforward. The recruiter was responsive. The staff I met were friendly, and I got a tour of the facility. Management also seemed quite approachable. It appears to be a great place to work. I couldn't take a night position at the time, but it's something I might consider down the road.
