Advice needed for interviews

Applying at a hospital is usually a computer/on-line thing, or other impersonal, beginning. But for CNA, hospitals are in need. I applied to all the hospitals at once, which was a stupid thing, because all calls for interviews came at once, it seemed. I couldn't look around. So, if you want any job, allow 2-4,5 weeks to get to an actual interview/face-to-face.

Reading this board has me smelling like FEAR for when I work in the hospital with nurses. Why not mase nurses who are eating on the young? That would be some picture...a nurse masing another nurse with a caption that talked about eating young :-)

Don't be that nervous. Be yourself and be honest. Some employers ask just personal simple questions. Others, ask medically related situational questions like drug calculations, ethics, case scenarios, or nursing management. Just review or remember all you have learned at school. If you don't know the answer, be honest. If you want to know common questions asked during interview, borrow any nursing management book at the library or search the web. Goodluck for your interview!:)

And remember, you have the chance to ask questions too at the end of their interview.

If I were you, go with your plan in applying job at the hospital. The experience you will get now will be very useful for tomorrow.
