I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ascension (Jacksonville, FL) in Feb 2013
Interview
One interview. Was asked to come at 7pm during shift change to meet day and night ANMs. When I arrived only the night ANM was there and told me he had no idea I was coming and was not prepared. I had no more than a 5 minute interview that mainly consisted of questions I asked him before I was escorted out. I eventually called HR after several weeks of hearing nothing only to find out they had no documentation of my interview. A few days later I received another call and was offered a 1a-1p shift. I questioned the offered and declined. A few hours later HR called back with an offer of 1p-1a instead and I accepted. Overall the process took 3 months.
Teams meeting with hiring manager and recruiter. Open ended questions and lots of back and forth open discussion. Very low maintenance, welcoming environment that allowed for thoughtful answers and time to have open dialogue
super easy, good flow, not so tough questions. They were very supportive during the interview process. Just type up and reherse your lines of why choosing the field/department/specialty and your good traits.
The nurse manager who interviewed me was friendly and made the process less stressful. I was worried about the process, but it was not bad. She asked questions about my background and experience and explained the job to me.
