I went to a hiring event first, then I did a shadow shift for a few hours, and then I had a pretty long peer interview. I got to ask a bunch of questions and was happy to accept the offer when it came.

First I had an interview with the manager. Then, I was asked to come back to shadow the unit and be paired with a nurse for a couple of hours. During that shadow day, I had a peer interview with two other nurses. The questions weren't specific to nursing.

Behavioral Technical

It was a quick two-step hiring process, and I got hired the same day. I interviewed with two nurse managers, possibly because they were figuring out staffing needs. As it was my first RN job, I was really nervous, but they made me feel welcome and didn't make me feel stupid when I fumbled my answers. Just be ready for a urine drug screen to be scheduled.
