Help. Have 1st interview after Completing CNA program.

Hi all. I just completed a CNA program and I'm going to be starting school for RN next fall. This is the 1st time in the medical industry. I'm 29 and have worked in the family business and been a senior manager in the retail world. I just received a call today for an interview at a hospital for PCT position. Kinda nervous, but I do very well in the interview process. Any Tips or advice? Thanks

the main thing to remember is to let them know your goals of obtaining your rn and show your enthusiasm about getting exp while in school. also, they want reliable and responsible and upbeat people who work well in a team setting. i just got hired at a hospital with only 3 months exp and it was ltc and the only reason is that i am going to school for nursing and i'm very motivated! dress proffesional, bring a resume with references as well! hope this helps!:yeah:

Don't be scared because if you are it will show. I too just obtained my CNA license and landed a job as a PCT in a hospital with no experience. I'm starting nursing school next year as well. Just focus on your enthusiasm to learn as much as you possibly can and your willingness to be a team player. Do a little research on the hospital as well, managers love it when you can relay facts about the facility. Like the previous poster said, dress well and bring a copy of your resume. If it's a team interview make sure when answering questions you make eye contact with both people, not just the person who asked you the question. I would follow up with a phone call a couple days later and a thank-you note a couple days after the phone call.
