Yeah! That is so awesome!!

Just be yourself, point out all of your strengths. Know that you are not expected to "know everything" but highlight your willingness to use your resources to find out what you don't know the answer to. And that this is your "long term" dream job.

You may want to familiarize yourself with the facilities mission statement, and look at what the survey results have been as of late, and your willingness to be mindful of survey results and their "customer service" model.

Best wishes and let us know how it goes!!

Congrats! That's great. I was recently offered a position in the OR, and I am due to begin training in a couple of weeks. I would suggest doing some research on the facility and following the advice mentioned by jadelpn. Also, read some of the threads about being an OR nurse. Come up with a list of questions to show that you are truly interested in OR nursing. Managers generally don't want to invest in a candidate who is not invested in the unit. Breathe and try to relax as much as you can (I know it's easier said than done). A question you may be asked is, "Why do you want to work in the OR?" Think about this and have a good response at the ready. I also contacted the manager and director a few days after the interview to thank them for the interview and their willingness to answer my questions. I also stated that I looked forward to hearing from them soon. 2 days later, I got the offer. Good luck and keep us posted!!
