Hospital interview

[Hhcna]

So I have an interview at a local hospital in a week. I'm super excited since I've wanted to work in the hospital setting before I was even a cna. After a year of paying my dues, I finally got an interview. From what I understand they are in great need of cnas so I have a good chance of getting the job. Though now that the dust has settled a bit the initial excitement has worn off. I was wondering what I should expect from the interview, how long it will take for me to hear back from them, and what it's like working in a hospital. I've had 3 months experience in a small dementia unit, and 9 months experience wit home health. I think really I'm excited to get away from geriatrics. Any added advice is much appreciated!

I been working at a small local hospital for almost 10 months and I love it. I used to work in a SNF for 2 years. For my interview I wasn't not really nervous at all. I was pretty confident. I talk to them very candid and open. They will ask you why you want to work there, why they need to hire you, positive and negative thing about yourself, if you want to pursue a career in the medical field... stuff like that. The interview went great. They told me that I will hear from them in two weeks. I got the call the very next morning offering me a position!!!!! I love working in the hospital. You learn a lot of things. I used to work 2nd shift, now I work nights, we did rounds, vitals, cares before bed, taking people to the bathroom, help nurses with procedures, post mortem care, helping transporting patiens around the hospital or when they got discharge. I work in a Med Surge unit.
