The interview process involved a lot of questions asking for specific scenarios, like "tell me about a time when you provided great patient care but the patient was still not happy despite your efforts." They also asked the usual basic questions, such as strengths, weaknesses, and to tell me about myself.

An external recruiter managed the entire process. First, I spoke with the recruiter. Then, I had Zoom interviews with the hiring team. After that, I went for in-person interviews with the interview team and other stakeholders. I had to fly to Phoenix twice to complete these interviews. The whole thing took about 3.5 months. Ultimately, the decision came down to personality fit. The communication throughout was slow, and when they decided not to move forward with me, the feedback was harsh and delivered without much respect. They were only pleasant until they got what they needed.

So I applied a few weeks ago and didn't hear back for a while, so I called HR to see if someone would get in touch. Not sure if that helped, but a recruiter eventually called. They asked a bunch of easy questions about my nursing goals, what kind of work I'm looking for, my experience, and what I'm studying. I mentioned I have friends who work there, which I think was a good move. You should definitely be ready to explain why you want to work at Phoenix Children's. After that call, I moved on to an interview where they asked similar questions to the recruiter.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Can you describe a challenging patient interaction and how you handled it?
  • What motivates your interest in this specific position?
