I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Encompass Health (Bakersfield, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
They spend more time getting to know the person less about skills. We can teach the skills. But reliability and personality are important as well. Employees need to be able to handle stressful Coworkers and patients in a professional manner. You have to be a go getter so your skills will continuously improve rather than remain the same.

I applied online. I interviewed at Encompass Health
Interview
This interview was very straightforward. The hiring manager was kind, calm and very laid back. I enjoyed the interview and felt that it went very well and felt confident that I had done well
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Encompass Health (Plano, TX) in Aug 2015
Interview
My interview was with the Chief Nursing Officer. The interview consisted of an extensive tour of the facility (Plano, TX) while explaining their philosophy, purpose, values, and training. I asked many questions which the CNO answered in full. We then sat down in his office and talked more about my specific experience and qualifications.
I have followed up with the CNO with a Thank you email the day after the interview and then once a week by telephone since then (3 weeks now). Each time, he has told me they are still interviewing other applicants or are meeting to discuss next steps. No resolution to process yet.
