I applied online and heard back pretty fast. First, I met with the nurse recruiter who asked me some basic questions about my background and explained how the hiring process works. She told me about the starting pay and extra pay like for having my BSN, working nights, PTO, and vacation time, and the potential start date. Then, the nurse manager for the unit I applied to interviewed me in her office. She asked me more detailed questions, including some scenario-based ones to check my skills. After that, two other nurses joined, and they asked me a few more scenario questions. The whole thing took less than 30 minutes. It seemed to go well, and I got a job offer that same afternoon.
