There seems to be a whole range of people looking for interview help, ranging from very basic things, to more complex questions.

You're Hired! A Nurse's Guide to Success in Today's Job Market
Digital/kindle only so it's cheap $. Quick and easy read, loaded with general information regarding the nurse interview, but doesn't delve into specific questions for specialized units (like i see posted on the boards). Very helpful for getting the interview right the first time.
Becoming Nursey: From Code Blues to Code Browns, How to Care for Your Patients and Yourself
