Behavioral Technical
It was a really long interview process with hardly any updates. The department head didn't seem to know what the job was about. I interviewed three times but never got a clear yes or no. I eventually asked the recruiter about it 60 days later, and it took her a week to tell me they'd hired someone else.

Behavioral Presentation
So I went to a recruiting event and met the nursing manager for the floor, and I applied. Then about 2.5 weeks later, a recruiter emailed me to set up a phone screen. After that, I got an interview with the floor itself. I got to shadow the floor from 7 to 10 AM and then interviewed with the two managers. It was supposed to be 30 minutes, and they said I'd hear back in about a week. After 8 days, the recruiter called me, and I accepted the offer.
