I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ascension in May 2016
Interview
Very laid back. I felt very comfortable with the process. It felt more like a get to know you, then being under a microscope. I enjoyed talking to my interviewers. They then proceeded to give me a tour of the unit. I had multiple units interested in me, so they offered me an opportunity to job shadow to be able to make an informed decision on where I wanted to work. They made me feel wanted, and not like a number. Very positive experience.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ascension (Indianapolis, IN) in Aug 2014
Interview
Interviewed by multiple supervisors and the manager as a group. Some members of the group spoke and interacted with me less than others. The group panel type of interview is a little more intimidating to me anyway. My interview was in a conference room. Since I have been employed there I have seen some done out in the cafe area.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ascension (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2016
Interview
typical peer panel interview with Nurse Manager and several of the staff nurses in that unit. Typical interview questions and then a tour of the unit. It just wasn't what I expected it to be. the nurses seemed to be short staffed and stressed out. People I talked to were nice though. It just wasn't for me.
