It was a simple and quick hiring process. I first spoke with HR for a screening, then I interviewed with the management. They asked me a lot about my past experience and why I had a break in my career to take care of my sick parent. They were very responsive and efficient.

The recruiting staff were great and got me in very quickly for an interview with the hiring manager. The interview went great! The staff that showed me around before the interview were so informative and seemed very content. The vibe on the unit was peaceful (as a hospital should be). The hiring manager was very thorough yet not rushed. They expressed their interest to hire me before the interview was over! Great experience!

After applying online, I had an in-person interview. The new hiring manager had other staff nurses join the interview. It felt pretty informal, we met in the lunch room with the door open.
