Interviewed Apr 2011 in Raceland, LA (took 5 days)
The interview for me was unique because I had previously worked for the organization. I received a phone call which setup an interview with the individuals that I would be working for, received a call a few days later and waited on my background check to become complete before I could begin working.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in New Orleans, LA (took 3 weeks)
They made me fill out a ridiculous number of forms and questionaires. Then, I was interviewed over the phone by someone in HR, who told me I would be interviewed by a VP, also a phone interview. The VP interview was downright silly. The woman asked pre-canned questions and then wondered aloud if I had "the energy" to do the job. I'm honestly glad it didn't go any further. By the way, the VP had nothing good to say about the doctors at the hospital. She kept complaining that the doctors "think they know everything about everyone's job." Well, her comments told me more about her than the doctors.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Gretna, LA (took 3 weeks)
I was called in for 3 different interviews. One was with the HR manager. One was a written assignment and the final with a group panel. It was stated that I would have a 4th interview with the VP of HR. I was never called and never informed I did not get the position. I found out via the website that said "not selected".

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Baton Rouge, LA (took 2 days)
My interview went very well and they were interested in me also. They asked that I do a "shadow shift" to be sure I liked the unit, work pace, employees, etc. I did the shadow shift, which was a night shift. I slept until late afternoon to prepare, drove an hour there and worked 4 hours. They said everything went great and they would be in contact to start hospital orientation. After two weeks and no contact, I called human resources. After they went through my file, the lady said they hired someone else for the position! And they did not even compensate me for the "shadow shift"! I have never heard of a hospital doing this and I certainly would not have wasted my time for free!
Negotiation Details
Don't consider doing a shadow shift!!!! If they change their mind, you get screwed. I wasted an entire day sleeping because I had to be at the hospital for a night shift, spent an hour both ways on the roads to get there (2 hours total), helped the nurses do their work, learn charting and procedures.....and didn't get hired. I didn't even get the decency of a phone call or email to tell me that. I waited 2 weeks to finally have to find out for myself.
