I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Genesis Healthcare (Greensburg, IN) in Dec 2012
Interview
I had several initial phone conversations w/ the PM at the facility before we were actually able to schedule an interview time. PM did not even have a copy of my resume during the initial interview. Actual interview lasted about 10 mins total. The most difficult phase was completing the drug screen because I did not pass the first time d/t a rx medication that I take and I told the PM this when I took the test. I brought along the actual rx botttle to show the PM that I was authorized to take that specific medication but was told that I had to just take the test and see what happened. When I did not pass then I was sent to local walk in clinic/urgent care and I showed them the rx bottle and they made a copy of the label and sent that w/ the drug screen and then there were no further difficulties at that time. It was just inconvenient having to take a second drug screen when I offered to prove why I could not pass the test the first time. This also delayed my start date because of having to wait 7 days between tests and then waiting for the test to be read when it was sent in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I did not have any real questions asked of me during the interview. PM just gave me an overview of the facility and pt population that were being served and then said, "I am not sure what I really need to ask of you and with as much experience as you have I sure you would be able to handle anything that we have here.
