Had a phone interview with the assistant manager. It was a text message the day before asking about interview time/date. It was a pleasant experience. She was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I didn't get the job because she wanted someone with more neuro ICU background. The call lasted about 10-20 mins.

Behavioral Technical
HR can be a bottleneck sometimes. After HR screens resumes and passes them to the manager, the manager shares them with the unit educator, CNS, and assistant managers. Then, there's usually a phone interview with an assistant manager, followed by a panel interview with floor nurses, charge nurses, and unit educator/management.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about a challenging family or patient situation you faced and how you managed it?
