I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at NYU Langone Health (New York, NY) in Apr 2018
Interview
Applied: September and got a call back in about two days. Phone Interview: November, and was told to come in for a new grad interview event. It never happened. Then I was told I needed to pass my NCLEX first and then reach back to them. I passed my NCLEX in late Feb and reached back out to HR and nothing was opened. After weeks of waiting, I was told to contact them again and I did but only one position was opened. Heres my thing: even if you dont want it, go for it, get your foot in the door! NYU is not an easy place to get a job at. Take what you can get! The HR team will help you even if the NM (nurse manager) didn't hire you. I was told to come in for an interview, and get all of my references ready (5 references). I came in, took a math test (need to score 100%), then had an interview with HR. Afterwards, I had a direct interview with a NM. Found out the next day that I didnt get it but my HR lady was awesome and scheduled me for an interview for the very next day for another unit. I got the job! The whole process took September - April (but it really took March - April because I think they prefer us to pass before we even get interviews). Overall, my interview process was great. Nothing was overwhelming or challenging..all basic questions.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NYU Langone Health (New York, NY) in Jul 2025
Interview
They asked me a variety of scenario questions, I'm a new grad so they only asked one clinical question (easy prioritization). Overall it really varies from unit to unit so make sure you have a lot of scenarios in mind that can tailor to multiple questions that could be asked.
