I applied online. I interviewed at Providence (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Managers don’t show up for the video interview or they cancel 30 minutes prior to the interview.
One manager asked me two questions then told me she had to jump on another interview call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I have applied to 14 RN positions, mainly at Providence St. John’s in Santa Monica since late March 2024.
A few of the managers didn’t even show up for the interviews via zoom and two were cancelled 30 minutes prior to the start of the interview.
My last interview for a psych position in San Pedro (which I’m qualified for) the manager asked me two questions then told me she had to interview someone else.
Twenty minutes later I received an email telling me I wasn’t selected, I think they had already made a decision, why put me through the interview and get my hopes up.
I have attempted to email H.R., unfortunately they don’t care.
I applied online. I interviewed at Providence (Torrance, CA)
Interview
I was contacted right away after submitting my resume online and was contacted by a recruiter via text and email. I answered several questions that were very generic and straightforward. After 8-10 minutes, I received an email stating that Provience would like to set up a Zoom interview with me.

Question 1
How do you handle four patients who all need immediate nursing care? It assessed my ESI thinking skills.
Interview was completed online via teams meeting. The interview was about 15 to 20 min. Mostly scenario based questions were asked. At the end of the interview opportunity to ask questions was given.
This interview was conducted via Zoom, fairly straightforward and smooth process. This interview seemed typical for what is practiced today for nursing interviews. The interviewers were a manager and nurse from a different unit, both were knowledgable and I was offered a position there.
