have interview. am petrified.

[goats'r'us, ASN, RN]

i wrote yesterday saying i was worried i'd never get a job, and today i got a call for an interview at a hospital i really want to work at.

it's for a general medical ward, which is something i've never done except for a few shifts filling in, but that doesn't bother me.

am basically just worrying about everything, which i know is irrational, but i really really hate interviews and i really really need a job!

can somebody please say something reassuring to me??

it's always good to have plan b, an alternative plan of action in case things don't work out. but, you have to start out thinking positively. if you take a negative view of things before you even start out, you've already set yourself up to fail. analyzing what you did wrong, figuring out what you should have done and then doing the right thing at the next opportunity is how you correct mistakes you've made in the past. this is how you learn how to ride a bike as well as how to react during a code. don't beat yourself up so badly. we all start out as beginners. we learn through having the courage to work through our mistakes.

Good luck with your job interview!

Arrive with confidence, its normal to nervous.

Do your best answering the questions, but be prepared to

ask about the job/benefits too.

There are a lot of factors that go into the hiring process,

so don't take it personally if you are not selected.

Have faith that through your consistant effort the right position

will emerge for you! :balloons::balloons:

it really helps your nervousness if you take the attitude you are there to learn as much about the prospective job and the company (hospital) and its philosophy. Sort of interview the job so to speak. Then the focus is of you yourself. (AKA: cure for self consciousness.)
