I had a video interview with two managers. They asked basic questions about myself, my past experiences, strengths/weaknesses, how I handle conflict, and why I'm interested in working here and specifically this unit. The interview was friendly and short, no longer than 20 minutes.

Behavioral
I never talked to a recruiter. The unit manager emailed me, and I interviewed with two managers. It was only about 10 minutes long. They were either really desperate, or they already had someone else in mind because they only asked me two questions. I found out who the recruiter was and emailed them after two weeks of no response. Instead of replying, they sent me a link to add my references, which I think was a mistake or a waste of time. Then they didn't hire me. It was awkward, unpleasant, and a waste of time. Unlike other hospitals that actually care about their applicants, this one in LA that's ranked #1 in California treats applicants much better than this place, which acts like they're doing you a huge favor just because of the hospital's name.

It was a panel interview over zoom. They asked around 10 questions, mostly behavioral questions about ICU events, but also asked me to introduce myself. They didn't ask many follow-up questions. The interviewers were very friendly and professional.
