Any tips would be much appreciated, thank you sooo much and I hope you get the job :)

RK413... how did your interview go??

Hi Nursing21rn, I had my 1st interview yesterday with the nurse recruiter and today I just got back from my interview with the nurse manager. I think they both went pretty well...even though I was soo nervous. But the interview with the nurse manager was much more laid back. In both they asked many "behavioral questions" mostly related to my clinical rotations, why nursing, what wud you do in this situation etc etc. I don't know when I'll hear back though, I have my fingers crossed :)

Goodluck with your interview!!! If you have any questions feel free to ask me, I'm happy to help :)

Are You new grads? How did you get interviews there? Do you have a bachelors degree? Thanks :)

Hi JM RN, I'm new grad with a BSN. I applied online and met with the recruiter at a career fair. The very next morning I got a call for an interview. I guess you have to email the nurse recruiter directly to catch his/her attention.
