Va hospital clearance

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

Help! I have an interview scheduled a VA hospital in Nc, what can I expect them to look for? What is a "clearance" I am currently a state employee but also had a "boo boo" while working at a department store at age 17 will this be brought up? Could this keep me from landing the job?

Ok, perhaps i need to relax!! But I am really on edge about all of this. Perhaps I should call back and request a follow up interview on another date. I just dont want them to feel I dont have the time for them or that I dont want the job. I hope it goes well for me, I will do my best. I wonder if any other CNAs will be having phone interviews. :-/

The nurse manager I interviewed with actually told me they prefer phone interviews.... I even asked her which would she prefer me to do. She said either. They treat each the same! It is a panel interview which doing it over the phone made it a lot easier!!!

Well I had my phone interview this morning, I was well prepared and it went great! I didnt have to worry about eye contact but hesitate on answers some as i thought them through. The interviewers were impressed with my answers and I feel great about how it went, they also said it could be between four and six weeks before I hear anything but i hope they were exaggerating and will call sooner! Thanks for all the support!
