Interview
Due to COVID protocols, you have to check in at lobby and wait for your interviewer to bring you up to the unit where you will be interviewing. From there you will be escorted to a room where the interview will take place. Professional & well approached. Interview was conducted by two RNs. Both very professional and made me feel comfortable. Overall a good experience.

cherry picked candidates, they fear if you deal with a relative working at the hospital they asked you right away who it is making sure you're not bluffing and it is not a relative of supervisor or manager. at first they rejected my inquiries, but then i tried applying mentioning in my cover letter that i know someone at st john and they responded right away
