About a week and a half after applying online, a nurse recruiter gave me a call. They asked some basic questions and then scheduled a phone interview. When I got there, I met with HR to discuss pay and benefits, which took about 20-30 minutes. Afterwards, she led me to the unit I was interested in. First, I interviewed with the department directors. They described their department and asked me a few basic questions about my past experience and why I was interested in the position. They also gave me an order for a drug screen that I had to complete at a clinic within 24 hours. This part wasn't difficult or stressful at all. After that, I had a peer interview with the staff nurses. There were four nurses, including the charge nurse, who interviewed me. This part was a bit more challenging. Even though I prepared as much as I could and the nurses were nice, I found this part the hardest. I'm not great at thinking on my feet, so some questions were tough. I also don't have a lot of nursing experience, so the scenario questions were more difficult. Each nurse took turns asking questions from a list, covering topics like teamwork, communication, and safety. I really recommend preparing thoroughly.

First contact is with HR for an initial screening. If you pass that, the department director will interview you over the phone. If the director likes you, they'll invite you for an in-person interview. After that, you'll have a peer review interview. The director will then decide whether to offer you the job, based on the peer review feedback. If an offer is made, the director will tell HR, and an HR representative will extend the offer. If you don't get selected at any stage, you'll get a short letter saying so, but no explanation.

Behavioral Technical
You first speak with the Nurse recruiter, then the director, and then have a peer interview right after each other. The whole process moves very quickly, but it's quite relaxed. They seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me and didn't try to make me feel pressured. They were really friendly and direct with their questions.
