I interviewed for the Registered Nurse position and met with the unit manager and two CNS's. They asked some basic questions, nothing too challenging. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job, which was disappointing. What was more frustrating was the HR department's extreme delay in getting back to me; I had to call them many times. They didn't offer any constructive feedback, just saying they liked me but didn't have enough open positions.

First, you submit your application, resume, goal statement, and unofficial transcript. Then, they'll email you to enter 4 references, who will then get an email to complete a survey and rate you. After that, there's a phone interview where they'll chat about the program, ask some questions, and talk about the units you're interested in. Finally, they'll set up an interview with a specific unit.

I had a phone interview first. Then, for the second interview, I had the choice between Zoom or an in-person interview. The first interview was really straightforward, with four general questions about me and the units I picked. For the second interview, it felt like they were reading directly from a pamphlet and taking notes. It was me facing a board of people.
