A recruiter contacted me. I had numerous interviews. My first interview was with a small panel that included mostly directors and assistant directors. I was asked to complete a drug screen and background check at the completion. I was called several days later and asked to return to complete a 20 minute teaching presentation. I presented in front of approximately 10 faculty and 20 nursing students. Several days later, I received another call that they were very impressed by my teaching presentation and asked me to do a skills demo. I came back for a third time and "taught" IV insertion and Foley insertion. Again, I was told they were very impressed and asked me (again) to complete a background check and drug screen. I was told I had already completed them and they were both green lighted for hiring. The assistant dean told the dean was out of office but I should hear back in several days with a formal job offer. I never heard from them again and all attempts to call and e-mail have been ignored. It's been approximately 2 months since my final interview.

I was hired "on the fly" by an interim dean after a big lay-off partially due to small class sizes and low passing rates on specialty exams. The interview was short, to-the-point, and did not include many of the standard discipline-oriented questions. My salary request was met, therefore I was asked to teach 3 courses per quarter and the next quarter started one week after the interview. Orientation was per intranet and very little guidance was provided. There was no peer interview.
