I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MemorialCare (Long Beach, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview was online via zoom only, and there was no chance to meet any management or staff in person or view facilities. One interview with one manager asking questions about experience and there was little opportunity to learn about culture or how the unit operated.

Question 1
Describe relevant past experience in a comparable unit
I interviewed at MemorialCare (Fountain Valley, CA)
Interview
It was a long process in terms of wait time from when I submitted my application to the interview. I interviewed with the manager and director of the unit. It's easier to get the interview if someone refers you who already works there.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MemorialCare (Fountain Valley, Orange, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Virtual with manager. Very casual, laid back, no annoying nursing behavior questions. She was very personable and just had a normal conversation. She wanted to know my prior experience, current certifications, the kinds of patients I have worked with in past.
