I emailed the head of nursing recruitment rather than just applying online and told her what my interests were. She set-up an interview for me with the department that seemed to fit best with my interests. The interview was disorganized - I shadowed in the wrong area of the department the first day and wasn't able to meet with the nurse manager, just the nurse leader. I'm great about following-up on a job when I'm interested, but I wasn't. They followed-up with me and invited me back for a second interview with the nurse manager present and offered to have my shadow in the correct area of the department. I went in a third time and shadowed in the correct area and interviewed with the other nurse leader. I received an offer very shortly afterward.

I shadowed the unit I was interested in for a few hours. After the shadowing experience, it was followed by a group interview a few other nurses and then a solo interview. Overall, positive experience.
