Behavioral Technical Case

The interview process for a registered nurse at UnityPoint is quite lengthy, though not overly difficult. It involves a standard interview questionnaire followed by simulation stations. These stations are designed to assess your problem-solving abilities and how you interact with patients and their families, rather than testing your technical skills.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you share your relevant experience?
  • What are your approaches to problem-solving in patient care simulations?

First, an HR rep interviews you, and then they pass you on to a department head. Standard interview questions are asked. Then, the department head shows you around the units. They are usually fairly out of touch with the units though. Sometimes the nurse manager for the unit takes over this process. After that, there is a background check.

I applied online and the manager got my application. A few days later, I got a phone call and then came in for an interview. I got the offer a week after that and took it. Since I already worked here, I didn't need to do another drug test. The orientation was really good, and I got to shadow a nurse for a few months. I felt ready.
