I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Sentara Health (Harrisonburg, VA) in Aug 2015
Interview
I had three interviews at this facility, all of which were conducted in a similar, laid-back style. The nurse managers were willing to answer every and all questions I had for them, they seemed just as interested in making sure that their nursing floor was a good fit for me as I would be for it. The questions came from a set of stock questions used hospital-wide and were all open ended (i.e. "describe a situation when...") When the primary interview is concluded the nurse manager will tell you whether or not they would like to send you to the next step, which is a peer interview, and I was contacted about scheduling that within a few days.

Question 1
Describe a situation in which you had to deliver news to someone that they did not like or agree with, how did they handle it? What did you do to improve the situation?
Tell me about the nicest compliment you have ever received as a nurse.
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

This process consisted of two interviews. The first was completed with the manager of the unit, which was then quickly followed by a peer-led interview that was a bit more informal.
