Question 1
Why i wanted to work as a nurse? How i would describe myself
Great process looking at whole person, good competencies and questions asked. Made to feel comfortable and timescales shared. Follow up not needed. Good understanding of my cv before hand. All stages communicated well to me in advance.
As expected. Application via NHS jobs. Interview with a panel of three people from the relevant department. Asked about the role, and a selection of about six competancy based interview questions.
