Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 1+ week)
The employer uses online resumes but I actually left my resume with an HR representative at a job fair that had only 8-10 hospitals represented. I navigated only a few and made my best impression at each. I received 2 follow ups.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
I submitted my resume online in September, and was contacted via phone by one of their Talent Specialists about 3 weeks later. The phone interview took just a few minutes. He scheduled an in-person interview with me later that week. There were two entry-level positions for which he was recruiting: Session Assistant and Physician's Assistant. I had to take a test beforehand which took about 50 minutes. It consisted of word problems and simple math questions, and then there was a personality test. The word problems/math questions were pretty easy, I think you only have to get 30% correct (there were more questions than you are expected to answer) to pass (and it was assessed on a pass/fail basis).
I was pretty disappointed by the overall process. I came in at 8am for for the testing, but didn't get to speak with the interview until 9:50am or so, and the interview took all of 15 minutes. He didn't seem very interested in speaking with me, and only asked me a few questions. He asked me again why I was interested in healthcare, and then asked me (1) for one example where I displayed extraordinary customer service, and (2) one example where I participated in a group activity.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
They are very serious about being prompt for the interview so always get there on time. I got there at 9:03 for a 9AM interview (the Potus) was in town and I got stuck in traffic. As soon as I arrived the young lady at the front desk wrote down the time I arrived and circled it. The interviewer was very nice and the questions were basic, i.e. tell me about yourself, what made you decide to get into health care? He looked over my resume and said he felt I would be a better fit for another position (however there were no openings). Before I left I told him I was interested in the session assistant position but he kept pushing me towards an administrative position which would have been fine if one was available. I was told a recruiter would call me about the admin position...that was a week ago I have heard nothing since. I was very upset.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2 months)
Met with recruiter who could talk about nothing but how I would be expected to work lots of overtime, but would get paid for 37.5 hours. Felt like I was being talked out of the job before I even got to the real interview. First interviewer's questioning made me think she had no experience in oncology herself. Second interviewer had not read my resume, rushed through the interview, took phone calls while I was talking, and talked about how "privileged" I would be to work there.
