Interview: Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children

[LadyQT]

:nuke: I recently set up an interview with a nurse recruiter for a NICU or PICU new grad position. However, there are no specifics on the website that states what I should bring along with me for the interview. Has anyone interviewed for a position here before or have any insights as to what I should expect. Any feedback would be most appreciated.

The other interviews that I have set up for various hospitals indicate exactly what should be brought along to the interview, etc.

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that has any input.

Thanks in advance.

hey! i interviewed on the general peds & peds heme/onc units at inova fairfax last january for a new grad position.. ended up not moving to dc and thus not taking the job, but the interview wasn't bad at all! i met with the general nurse recruiter first, and then with the individual managers of the units. they asked the usual questions about why do i want to work with children, how would i handle sick/dying children, upset parents etc.. nothing tricky because i had no experience!!

i brought some copies of my resume & cover letter, and then also letters of recommendation and a self evaluation, although they really only looked at the resume. definitely important to have multiple copies, because everybody wanted one!!

just dress nicely, come with questions and good answers as to why you're interested in working with kiddos and why you're interested in inova, and you'll be good to go. everybody was really friendly.. my only problem was getting lost trying to find my way out!!! good luck!!
