business dress most all settings.

very neat pressed scrub might be acceptable LTC,

as some nurses came by for interview after working nights or before 2nd shift, i understood that ;)

The best clothes that you can get together. A suit if possible. Business formal.

My "interview ensemble" consists of grey dress slacks, a lavender button down top, and black "ballet" flats with dress socks. Accessories usually consist of either my pearl necklace or a neclace that I wear 24/7 in memory of my older brother, my nice watch, and wedding rings.

I don't dress up often and actually my husband picked out my "interview" outfit for me at Walmart of all places!

Business formal. A suit. At least, a jacket.

It depends on the setting. Business casual attire is acceptable when interviewing for some positions, but professional attire is sometimes expected at other interviews. To play it safe in today's employment marketplace, dress professionally.

I can't imagine any situation where business casual would be acceptable when interviewing for an RN position when so many candidates are competing for the same job.

i had a shadow interview where I was told to wear scrubs as I was going to be on the floor abd straight into NM office (who happened to be wearing scrubs, too). Other times, business casual

If you have an interview clarify whether you need to dress business casual or bring scrubs or wear scrubs; each facility is different in their specifications.

I thought this thread was going to be about dressings.
