I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Select Medical (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2025
Interview
The process was fairly quick and easy. I had an interview with a recruiter. Then once I passed that process I met with the Chief of Nursing and a HR rep. They asked great questions and were very friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How have I dealt with difficult patients / customers in the past and name one thing I did to resolve the issue.
It was smooth. A recruiter called to set up an interview with the director and I toured the facility and met with HR. Then I met with the nurse managers . They are sticklers on time so be sure to be on time and ready to go over work history and average interview questions.
Friendly, smooth process. Asks about nursing skills and education. Past employment history, favorite nursing skills. Need to have CPR up to date. Did interview over the phone. Ask questions about patient ratio
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Select Medical (Columbus, OH)
Interview
The HR employee I worked with was extremely unprofessional and refused to communicate. She ignored emails and refused to return calls. I requested salary information before I took an interview and she ignored me. Further more you are required to complete a 4 hour, yes 4 hour shadow after the interview and before an offer is made.
I was offered a job after completing my 4 hour shadow by the same HR woman who'd ignored me the entire process. It's no wonder they don't tell you the hourly rate. The entire interaction was more than enough for me to know working here would be a disaster. 5 to 1 vented patient ratios, a lazy HR department, and pay doesn't come close to compensating the acuity of patients.
