AHHHHH I feel like balling !!!! Im a brand new grad LVN and I applied for a job at a hosipital in the vent area and I told the manager on the phone that I had trach experience and had done breathing treatments and he asked about vent and I said yea, I was so confused- and i didn't- he said he didn't want people lying if they had this experience or not, and I said yea I haven't im sorry Ive seen nurses do this. I was SOOOO nevervous on the phone and he still asked me to come in for an interview tomorrow and bring my drivers license, social, lvn license and bsl card. and now I can't rember if he said the interview was at 2 or 3 AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
What do I do???? Should I say Im sorry at the interview I was nervous?
What should I wear to the interview????? makeup advice etc?
This is my first interview- im so nervous!!! I feel doomed already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should I show up at 145 now? even if the interview is at 3? cuz I cant remeber if it was 2????
Please help me, I just want to call and cancel now
Thank you all so much for your help. Another thing is is that this position is PER DIEM, what does that mean? I know there 12 hours shifts. My husband works grave yards evry other sat, and then sun mon tue. Would it be to much to ask for wed thur fri and every other sat at my interview? This is all i can do bc of our lil baby.
Also, why would he ask me to bring all that stuff like my license social etc? do they do that to keep a record of your interview- or do they only do that if they might hire you???
I feel so stupid- I was thinking of just going at 145- since most people arive at interview early anyways, and saying I was in the area and if he would still like to interview earlier I could. And then telling him I felt really bad after getting off the phone with him yesterday- that Im a new grad and was very very nervous on the phone and that this is my first interview, and that Ive seen my instructors demonstrate alot of things in our classroom but i Havent personally worked on a vent, that i didnt mean to sound like a liar, and I want him to know exactly what I know how to do because I wouldnt want to get hired and them to think I know what Im doing when I really don't, because this could put peoples lives at risk. I apologize.
First of all... relax. You're a new grad and I don't think that the hiring manager will be expecting you to be able to take care of anyone on vent without a proper orientation/ preceptorship. Even after orientation, you can always ask for help if you need it. Like someone else mentioned, its ok to let them know that you were nervous during the telephone conversation, and that due to that confusion/ nervousness, you'd just like to be sure that you didn't misrepresent yourself. Anyway, good luck on your interview. I think it'll all work out fine. Stop beating yourself up, everyone gets a little confused at times.

Per diem usually translates to "as needed" ... not a full-time position.
