Hi,
New to the board wanted to ask for your advice, I have a interview for the pediatric floor at a major hospital in the city. I have already taken a tour of the floor and met with the nursing manager. I am supposed to do a panel interview at the end of the month. I am supposed to meet with HR to complete some papers first. From my understanding there are a total of 3 candidates including me. I need help in nailing this interview.
Background:
Graduated May 2008, Passed boards in June
Have Bachelor's degree, RN licensee
Have interviewed for other positions but have always been turned down due to lack of experience
Nurse manager knows of new grad status but I don't want to be beat out by somebody more experienced
Had a pediatric internship on general peds. floor (I was doing total patient care/documentation with RN supervising me)
Have not worked since graduation been interviewing, getting career advice. I have also continued to read nursing textbook, watch skill videos, reading medical/nursing journals.
Please help with questions they might ask (and good answers), what are they looking for?, how do I stand out, how do I emphasis my qualities. Basically how to ensure me getting this job!
Thanks
