I interviewed for the job about three months before I graduated with my BSN and got an offer the very same day. It was a pretty standard interview for a nurse position. I talked with both the unit nurse supervisor and the nurse manager. After that, HR called me to extend the job offer.

My interview was super chill. She had me introduce myself and then she told me all about the unit and asked if I had any questions. She then asked what 3 things I'd contribute to the nursing team and what I hoped to get out of the job. She also asked about prioritizing care if 5 patients needed attention at once. Finally, she asked how I'd handle a situation where a patient was immediately difficult.

The interview process was pretty simple. I was told the patient ratios were high and the pay was low, and I'm not sure if that has changed since the strike. The RN interviewing me mentioned she was pregnant during covid and had a lot of covid patients. I opted not to take the job when I learned I'd have to work two weekends a month on top of the high patient load. The RN seemed really nice though.
