Interview Advice

I am a soon to be nurse graduate with my BSN. I have an interview for my dream job in a level 3 NICU. I have dreamed of working in the NICU since I was 15. I don't want to blow it, it's for a 5 month nurse graduate internship. I currently work as a PCA on a women's unit that gets all of the NICU moms/families and fetal demise moms/families so I have experience working with the moms and I love it.

Any and all advice would be so appreciated!! Thank you :)

Although those are all great suggestions above, I have some more tips on a successful interview. Make up a list of 3-5 of your best traits/characteristics, but not only have those in mind, have examples as to why you believe these things are true. Such as, "I am a hard worker and career driven because I worked as a PCA on a women's unit while going to nursing school. End with a conslusion as to what this means to add another positive: "so I know how to balance a hectic schedule." Good luck!
