First job interview for hospital nursery tomorrow ( no experience in nursery). I want this SO BAD! I’m so nervous. I’m going common answers to common questions in my head, going to research hospital and make notes.   But I still so nervous. Any tips on how to better prepare? Is OK to take notes myself during interview of things I don’t want forget?

 

I have been waiting for couple years for this change and don’t want mess it! Please help!

I guess by now you completed your interview and if you had those questions the day before interview,well that is not so good,However ,how did you do?Let others know what to expect.Find out why is there an opening,is it high turnover?Let us know your outcome.

why is having those question a day before interview not so good? I only had a day and half notice. I got the call for the interview Tuesday after noon. SO I did not have time nor was I expecting a call either or I would have prepared much sooner.

well I think it went good.  The seems pleased with me. it was mention about a possible panel interview they may do as well but I really not sure. I don;t think I got it.  WHICH I REALLY WANT IT so I am bumb but she said she wanted to decide by this coming Thursday. I did bring a portfolio but she stated it was necessary  as it was a new grad position. they had opening as  a nurse was retiring.

Oh I think I didn;t get it because I was to honest about a specific question and I guess I should have fibbed a bit.. But I not one to lie but now I regret it as that may have been key. They new from previous statement as I told I fell in love or new it was my passion to be in mother baby unit due to my experience I had with Labor and delivery during school.

So I was ask do  you feel labor and delivery is your want or nursery. -- I stated to be honest I did not do nursery in school so I can't say which would be a better fit for me but that I loves working with the mother baby after delivery so I fill this would be great fit. I had just shared my experience in labor and deliver as that what clinicals we did and I thought that would help.  I did say I wanted L&D more I just I had nothing to compare the experience with..So I sure if by not saying I want nursery more did in for me.

 

but then they gave me tour of what unit look like and I feel in love. My excitement grow that much more..UGH I truly don;t know but I don;t feel good about it now..
