The interview process felt too long, but the recruiter was amazing. I'd never had a recruiter know financials, salary, and benefits so well. Nicole DeSantis was excellent. The interview with the Nurse Manager was great, but the staff interview wasn't good. It reminded me of the 'insiders/popular group' from high school. I wouldn't want to work on this specific floor, but I would be open to the organization as a whole.

The entire interview process took about a week. I applied on Monday, got a call from the recruiter on Wednesday. Then, I had an in-person interview with the Nurse Manager on Friday, and they extended an offer the following Monday. Everything was really clear and efficient. Like, if they said they'd call at 9:30, they called right at 9:30.

Behavioral Presentation

I went to a walk-in meet and greet with my resume. I was offered an immediate interview with the department manager, who spent over an hour with me, talking and giving me a tour. She was very personable and honest. She gave me a job offer before I left.
