I applied online. I interviewed at Ascension (Indianapolis, IN) in Aug 2022
Interview
This response is for the NICU department. The interview questions were straightforward nursing interview questions (how do you delegate, describe strengths and weaknesses, etc.). They did ask why I was interested in the NICU since it is a highly specialized unit so prepare to have an answer for that. Many RNs have a personal story tied to it but I did not.
Teams meeting with hiring manager and recruiter. Open ended questions and lots of back and forth open discussion. Very low maintenance, welcoming environment that allowed for thoughtful answers and time to have open dialogue
super easy, good flow, not so tough questions. They were very supportive during the interview process. Just type up and reherse your lines of why choosing the field/department/specialty and your good traits.
The nurse manager who interviewed me was friendly and made the process less stressful. I was worried about the process, but it was not bad. She asked questions about my background and experience and explained the job to me.
