It was a really good interview, felt comfortable and professional. They asked around 15 questions, pretty standard ones. Nothing too deep, mostly about my availability and stuff.

Behavioral Presentation
I went to a hiring event that I signed up for a few weeks before. When I got there, they asked me what department I was interested in, even though I already put that on the signup. After I sat down, they had me follow a manager for an interview. When we got to the unit, I had to ask what it was, and it wasn't even close to what I wanted. After I interviewed for a department I didn't care about, I talked to the recruiter. She said the managers weren't told about the event.

First I had a phone chat with the nurse recruiter. Then, I did a share day where I shadowed one of the nurses on the unit. After that, I had an interview with the nurse manager for the unit.
