STAR method used a lot during interview and strengths and weaknesses, scenario questions, tell me about a time you had a conflict and how did you resolve it. Tell me about a time you made a mistake, how did you resolve it?

The interview process I experienced here was the worst and most unprofessional of my entire career. They showed zero respect for me and treated me as if my time was of no value. They jerked me around for nearly two months for a job that had already been offered to an internal candidate. I did two interviews and then was introduced to the entire team. I was asked to come in and shadow the team, which was scheduled two and half weeks out from the time of the interview because they said they wanted to make sure I would get the chance to fully experience the role. I passed up other opportunities because I was genuinely excited about the job and they gave me every reason to believe I would most likely receive an offer. I came in on the scheduled date and shadowed multiple team members over the course of about four hours. I was then told I would hear from them within 1-2 weeks. At the end of two weeks, I called to ask if they had made a decision. I was told that they preferred to hire internally, had already offered the job to an internal candidate, and had been waiting all this time for that person to make a decision. Since that person had just accepted, I was no longer being considered. So basically, they had me interview multiple times and then do four hours of unpaid training for a role I was never seriously considered for in the first place. I understand interviewing multiple candidates for a role, but to keep someone on the hook for so long just to give your intended candidate more time to decide if they even want the role is unprofessional and disrespectful. If you interview here, be aware that they have a preference for internal candidates and will go out of their way to waste your time if it best suits their needs.

Interviewed for the new grad RN academy. It was a panel of 4 nurses that were directors or assistant directors of a unit that was relevant to the academy you were interested in. Everyone involved with the process from the time to arrive until you leave was very nice and there was a pretty relaxed feel throughout the interview. It had sort of a conversational feel to it where they would ask you questions and then maybe pick up on something you said and ask you a question based off your response. Everyone that I have spoke to in my class has had the same experience during their interview process.
