Interview
Applied online and received a call from HR two weeks later to come in for a personality and aptitude test. A day or two after the test I received another call to set up a group interview with the Nurse Manager and Patient Care Director, was given a tour of the unit, and all tolled it took about two hours. Received a call at the end of that week with an offer, I accepted, and two weeks after that I started my orientation process.

Interview
Recruiter was nice , was rushed but wasn’t the bad part. We went over what position I applied for and informed her I can commit to the weekend due to the fact that I was taking classes . I get to the second interview for the imaging dept (CT). The interview was very causal . She only ask me tell me about yourself then ask what position I applied for and what shift . I tell her and she’s like oh that position already been taken. Then she emphasize importance of communication the irony . That’s all the questions she ask me and ask if I had questions. So I asked my questions and that was it she didn’t really give me a chance at all after she probably realized she fked up by giving positron to someone else already so I was irrelevant since I couldn’t do the other shifts. They just want to get people in asap which is crazy bc the job didn’t start till July.

Interview
You'll receive an unscheduled phone interview with the recruiter going over your resume and whether or not you'll be able to attend the 6-week course that's scheduled 2 months out. After which you'll schedule an interview with the nurse lead for the unit you've applied to. Where you'll once again go over your resume, and be asked 5 predetermined interview questions from a list. Then you're suppose to shadow other clinical technicians for 20 minutes. Overall, the interview process was dysfunctional and messy, with random interview calls and a disinterested nurse lead who went elsewhere, and forgot she left me to shadow in the unit.
