Intern interview

[mswilliams3]

I have been trying to obtain a nursing intern interview and I have not gotten the job on the interviews I went to. I admit my first intern interview was very terrible. The second one i thought went great. The last one was a complete failure. I feel like that if i continue to go on interviews then once I do graduate then I would have already exhausted all my options in my city trying to obtain an internship position and I will not be considered for an actual nursing position due to those interviews. I am a senior nursing student. I have one more class to take before i start senior capstone. I feel like I do not know anything still even in my senior year. I've made it this far and I can't even remember the insulin peak or duration anymore. I feel like I've passed each class only knowing just enough to pass the test. This is bad. I want to really to be good competent nurse. I have a big weakness in communication and i definitely know that it has been a roadblock for me in obtaining the 2 of 3 intern interviews I've attended. Its not that i'm afraid to speak but I have a difficult time expressing my point or providing the explanation behind things to Nursing instructor/clinical instructors throughout my clinical experiences. Then there would be some things I would just not know which seems to be very basic in the instructor view. I would definitely seek out the answer after I've encountered something I didn't know. At this point I feel like a complete Idiot. Somethings that I did not do after my interviews was send a thank you note. Don't really know if that mattered after I've stumbled over my words during the interviewing process. They asked very basic questions, but to be honest I NEVER have been in a conflict with someone on a job or I never noticed anyone not pulling their weight on the job, I don't know how stressful a nursing job could be but i have a view of it and I suspect that it to be managed with time management skills and organization, and care plans and priority list. However, another nursing employee in the interview told me that it was IDEAL not realistic. so i'm confused because this is how i handled stress in school along with prayer. I was just trying to be honest in my interview and tell them simply that I am a good candidate but it has not worked with being honest. I don't have any other nursing or health care related experience besides school related. I fear that I will not be able to obtain a nursing job now in one of my dream jobs. Something I love doing. I need some advice, comments, or suggestions

I gave myself less credit than I deserve. I know this stuff. I got an Nurse Extern Job and honestly everything was still in head. I felt like I didn't know but I did. I'm learning more now. Went to do an Nurse Externship on the med-surg floor. hated it during my clinical but it is great now.
