The interview process is a two-way evaluation where you demonstrate your qualifications while deciding if the company matches your career goals. The process begins with a brief recruiter call to align on basic logistics, timeline, and salary expectations. Next, you will meet with the hiring manager to discuss your professional background and relevant experience in greater detail. During the interview, you can ask questions about the unit, staffing, nurse-patient ratio etc.
I had a 20 minute phone interview with a recruiter then met with director and educator. They were standard interview questions and then I shadowed the unit. Was offered the job the next day
