I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at VITAS Healthcare (Fort Lauderdale, FL) in Jan 2013
Interview
My interviewer focused on applicant ability and comfort with end of life care, didn't really detail other job duties. Nursing skills were not discussed, perhaps because I had a recent hospital staffing background.

Online application - time consuming, interview process is straight forward and quick. Good place to work for the elderly, pay is below average for RN with experience. Health Benefits- are lacking it is basically a catastrophic plan $5,000 deductible. Staff are very dedicated, paper work is a handful, new pharmacy is not working out for patients...

The session was brief, to the point questions. I was offered the position at this interview and I accepted.

Interview
Phone interview with Director of Nursing. 1:1 interview with DON 1st interview, very pleasant. Seemed interested and positive. 2nd interview with General Manager 1:1, very unprofessional. Just dug for dirt on current employer, not friendly at all. Was interviewing for 2 very different positions even though clearly stated that I was interested in one specific position.
