interview in a few hours! yikes!

Published

OK so I have my post partum interview today. Why is it that I all of a sudden feel like a new grad? I'm all nervous and driving myself crazy! I feel like I did when I was brand new to med/surg....I feel like everything is so overwhelming and that I won't be able to handle learning a whole new world again.... In need of a pep talk!

Too late to give you a pep talk, but I do want to know, how did it go?! Good luck!

The interview went well. She said that she is going to offer me the position. She was trying to tell me how busy it is, and how I have to be able to do all this teaching, which is exactly what I expected...but she did manage to get me second guessing if I could handle it. I keep coming back to this...if I can take care of 8 sick, sick oncology patients with a ton of meds, I can probably manage my time on a busy post partum floor once I learn everything that I need to learn. What do you think?

Also, I called my current manager to tell her about my interview but she hasn't called back yet. I am just so nervous to tell her that I am going to leave. I feel such a sense of loyalty to my current unit and I feel so bad for leaving them at a time when staffing is very low and the unit as a whole is just in bad shape. Any tips on how to make that phone call a little easier to bear? thanks!
