Interview on Friday - Tips on preparing?

[travelcrazyRN]

I'm in a program that requires the student to secure their own preceptors for the different FNP classes. I emailed one MD asking to be his student for my final semester (summer) and secured an interview. The MD said they want to choose a student who would possibly move into the practice for a future position. This is a family practice and urgent care. The website lists 5 MDs and 1 PA in the practice. No NPs, however this MD has been a preceptor for my FNP program many times in the past.

What do you think I could expect in regards to questions? Also, is there any particular questions you would want a student to ask? I tend to interview well (at least for RN positions), however this is my first interview that could lead to a NP position. This area is saturated with students so if I am being honest, I am more concerned with having him accept me as a student. I think it would be a ideal place to learn and most practices that have the type of environment I am looking for are not accepting any more students.

I have studied their website and know a bit about the company but past that I'm at a loss on what to expect.

I never actually interviewed for a position to be precepted so I'm not sure what types of questions they may ask of a student. If you think it might be somewhere you'd want to work I say play it up! The MD told you what he wanted....someone who might work there in the future. Keep in mind, though, this doesn't seem like any type of contractural obligation. I know how difficult it was to find my own preceptor. Not that my area was oversaturated but that my town has probably 90% MD's....many of whom aren't very NP friendly.

Good luck! I feel for you!
