Group Behavioral
Got an email about a group interview that lasted an hour. It was with 4 managers and 4 new RN grads. All the new grads were asked different questions, but they were on similar topics like compassion, time management, prioritization, and critical thinking. Each person was asked about 4 questions. They let me know about my candidacy status a few weeks later.

Behavioral Group
So, it was a group interview with a panel of about 4 or 5 people from Stanford. There were also 3 or 4 other candidates interviewing with me at the same time. They asked questions one by one to each candidate in a round-robin style. Each of us got asked 4 questions. I also had to interview another candidate and then introduce them to the panel.
