Interview on an Inpatient Oncology Unit of Tuesday!

[SuesquatchRN]

Cross your fingers for me!

Questions: She knows I am newly licensed as an RN. Will I be asked any chemo-specific kinds of questions?

I'm planning to go over calculating drip rates. Is it likely they'll go straight to the med test and pee-in-a-cup? She asked me to bring my license and BLS card.

Any suggestions as to how I should dress? What I should ask?

Thanks in advance.

good luck. i hope your interview went well.

i also had an interview for a med-surg oncology floor. she said i wont be doing chemo if i get hired, but if i put in a lot of hours in the oncology side of the unit, then they will train me to be chemo-certified. so it will depend on the need of the unit.

i hope you brushed up on some oncology questions. i almost forgot neutropenic precaution and chemo side effects! but lucky thing i had a good recall. i was offered the job 2 weeks later!

So true, reviewing neutropenia, epogen shots, and pain meds are a great start!

Thanks so much, everyone! I haven't checked this thread in a few.

One other person to interview. No onc-specific questions, actually no nursing questions. I'd be a new grad, 6 - 8 week preceptorship, chemo class in all, onc cert down the road, CEU's required....

athena, i I get it I'll be picking your brain!

I'll know early next week.

ARRRGHHH!

It wouldn't be nice to pray that this other person suddenly get a headache, but you know what I mean...I am routing for you!:redbeathe:redpinkhe:yeah::bowingpur:bow:

Sounds like it went well.

Thank you cards to those you interviewed with should make you really stand out and may positively influence that person you have to interview with next week.

The job sounds great. I am wishing you the best-you certainly deserve it.

Sending you positive cyber thoughts re: your interview

[SuesquatchRN, BSN, RN]

Didn't get it - a candidate with onc experience did. It's okay.
