I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sentara Health (Norfolk, VA) in Aug 2016
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a Sentara nurse recruiter for a phone interview. After she asked some basic employee screening-type questions, she set up an interview with the nurse manager. I went in to shadow on the unit for a few hours and had the interview afterward with the manager and CNS. Because I'm a new grad and don't have much experience in the specialty, most of my interview questions were behavioral and customer service-based. In exchange, I asked a few questions about orientation and new grad residency. Two days later I was offered the job.
Took weeks to finally get an interview with a bunch and back a fourth with recruiter. Kept emailing me and then not responding on the days I said I was available.
Very easy straight forward, they want to know if you are committed to working a schedule and your prior experience and units worked. When they are ready to hire, they are ready to hire turnover rate for nurses is high, so getting a job is very easy
