It was a very thorough process. They were great about working with my schedule for the interview times. They clearly explained what was expected at every step so there were no surprises. They went into detail about the job requirements and what they're looking for. I even had the chance to shadow.

I had a really great time interviewing for my first RN job. The nurse manager for the floor was super easy to chat with and really knew her unit well. She was really open and encouraged her nurses to develop their careers. When I spoke with the nurses and did a shadowing session, they all seemed really happy in their jobs. I thought it was awesome that the unit hasn't had anyone leave in the last two years for bad reasons. The few nurses who did leave did so because of military orders or medical issues.

There were two interviewers on zoom. They both asked me about my experience at my current hospital. First, they talked about their units, like how many beds they have, the patient-to-nurse ratio, and how busy it gets. They mentioned they'd ask about my current experience, clinical skills, and some clinical questions.

Confirmed questions3 questions
