I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Providence (Santa Monica, CA)
Interview
The recruiter contacted me about my application and set up an interview with a panel which consisted of the manager, the director of the unit, the educator and one of the charge nurses from the day shift. They scheduled another interview a week later with charge nurses from the night and day shift. I'm still waiting for another possible interview with the rest of the staff. I have heard from a friend that the hiring process is long and drawn out. I'm keeping this in mind especially since the recruiter told them I had another offer. I am hoping that they either give me an offer or another interview because it seems like a nice place to work. It seems like a tight knit community who care about the work they do and everyone was friendly and professional as I walked through the unit.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Providence (Mobile, AL) in Jun 2016
Interview
The hospital hosted an RN job fair, so I went to it & had a chance to speak to several of the nurse managers from units all over the hospital. Once I picked the unit I was most interested in applying for, I filled out an online application & followed up with an interview with the 2 managers on the unit about a week later. It was very easy going and informal. I felt comfortable with them right away!

Question 1
Strengths? Weaknesses? Past experience? What I was looking for? What shift I preferred?
Interview went smoothly and was straight to the point in asking interview questions. Was asked about 5-6 questions. Also was asked what shift was interested in, but make sure to ask what position/shift your interviewing for, it can make or break if your offered the job. May have a 1:1 interview or panel interview. Only one interview in person, no second interview and no phone interviews unlike other hospitals.
