It was a great interview. The manager was awesome. She made me feel very comfortable in the interview process. To the people who actually worked there.... they are ridiculous, rude, racist, and unfair. I left within my 90 days because of how bad they treated me. i would never go back! That was one of the worst teams i have ever worked with! ( and let me remind you, that was the second time i had worked for the Clinic and i have never had a bad experience anywhere else, but at STJ)

The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, OH) in May 2021
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for a phone interview the following day. After the phone interview I was scheduled to meet with the nurse manager which included shadowing. Everyone at the site was so nice and funny. After the interview there was radio silence so I ended up reaching out to the recruiter. He then offered me the job verbally, I accepted, and I am still waiting to hear back regarding my onboarding. Long drawn out process that needs to be done more efficiently
