I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Deborah Heart and Lung Center (Browns Mills, NJ) in Apr 2022
Interview
Meet with HR hiring manager first, then VP of patient care services (along with an informatics staff member) in the HR building. You will also sign a background check form with HR.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Do you have experience with staff onboarding training?
Do you have specific schedule restrictions? Because the informatics team is small and you will need to perform multiple roles, there are times where you will need to stay longer than expected and show up on days you do not typically work. The previous INS in this role would often have to go home late due to responsibilities at work. Is this acceptable for you?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Deborah Heart and Lung Center
Interview
It was quite confusing (being given the wrong interview address, being told by HR at interview that this is a patient transport position but being told otherwise by other interviewers, receiving a rejection letter then being told by HR they sent it by mistake). The people I spoke with were fantastic, inspirational, and I would have loved to work with them. When I called to follow up 1 month later, I was told that I did not have as much experience as they would like (I have over 3 years informatics and RN experience, 1.5 is through my masters' clinical site at which I was hired to continue the same work due to my performance during my clinicals). I was advised that another more experienced candidate may be chosen instead of me so I backed out since I already had an offer and couldn't wait. Their job listing on most recruitment sites say "entry-level" with no nursing informatics working experience in the requirements, but at interview I was told I would need to work independently from the get-go and there was only 1 other informatics staff who was only part time. I was warned I may receive little support which is not something one would expect from an entry level position.
Interview questions seemed to heavily emphasize on asking if I had EHR building and in person staff training experience. It is very uncommon for nurse informaticists to build, so please do make a note when you go interview.
