I had a CVIC call to ask me to come in for an interview next week! So excited! I have a lot of things going against me- I've been out for a year with my babies, my only work experience so far has been in the OR, and I have an Associates Degree (I plan to pursue BSN but hoping to get employed first bc a lot of hospitals here help with tuition). Haven't done medsurg/tele/floor nursing in like 3.5 years (since I was in school). It's for a night supplemental position. So a few questions:
How doable is it to work all night, then come home, and deal with a toddler and 6mo? Obvi it wouldn't be easy, but we could stay at home and I could nap when they nap- if it's just one or two nights a week, is this sustainable?
What things should I ask for a cardiac intermediate unit interview?
Where would I even start to review stuff about cardiac?! obvi ecg interpretation, lead placement, basic cardiac meds and interventions... Should I go back over school notes or is there some amazing website or book out there to refresh me?
I want to impress the **** out of these people, y'all. I know I have what it takes to change hats and be a good cardiac/floor nurse, but I'm trying to figure out how to best convey that to my interviewers on Tuesday.
Interview went well y'all! They changed my status on the hospital website to "an offer is being generated for you and will be made within 3 business days." Yay!! So excited. Thanks for all the insight.
