I spoke with two leaders for about an hour. We talked about my past jobs, why I want this specific role, and my general personality. It was a pretty thorough chat. This just happened a few days ago, so I don't know if I'll get an offer, but they dropped some hints that it might be possible.

The interview process is long but doable. My interview took about 30 minutes and it was with 1 person but if I moved on it would've been with more people. They said there is an average of 2 to 3 interviews in the process.

I went through the nurse residency program right after finishing school. The interview process was pretty unique because I got to interview and then shadow nurses on different units. Each interview had about 2-4 people, and they were all really friendly. A cool part was that after each interview, I got to shadow a nurse for about 30 minutes to an hour, which really helped me get a feel for what it's like on that unit.
