I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HCA Healthcare (Nashville, TN) in Feb 2015
Interview
You apply online, then have a phone screening and then if you pass that, get invited to an interview super day with about 60 other applicants. Once there you may have up to 3 interviews. Overall it is a good experience.
They were very professional, and kind during interviews. They did not ask any extremely technical questions and were upfront about their expectations for the internship. They were also very kind and patient through scheduling and planning availability.

Question 1
What experience in problem solving in school have I had outside of school work?
Over the phone and they just talked to me for about 15 minutes, a little confusing as to what the role actually entailed. I did not get the position and they reached out in the next week. All behavioral questions
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HCA Healthcare (Miami, FL) in Apr 2025
Interview
I thought it went good, and received good feedback but no one reached out for over a month and they let me know they went with other candidates after I reached out for the last time. I’ve heard long response time is normal though, didn’t know this at the time.
