Interview.. soo nervous!

So I have been a nurse on a med/surg/tele floor at a small hospital for a year now.. and I want to move back home (Portland, OR). i SOMEHOW landed an interview at a good hospital, on an oncology floor, which is what i want to specialize in!

I worked Oncology as a nursing assistant for a yr and 1/2 and didn't realize how much I liked it until I moved away for school. All through school i tried to get Oncology patients, usually pretty complex cases! (I like a good challenge =) And now even through my little 44 bed hospital, we get the occasional oncology patient. We have a pretty decent outpt oncology unit, and we get the neutropenia's and various other complications.

I KNOW i want to specialize in Onc, i can't wait till I can get Oncology Certified and get Chemo certified and all that... Ohhh how i want this job!! I'm so afraifd i'm gunna mess up the interview... i haven't had very many in my life, and my only other RN interview was for my current hospital, and it was... so laid back and unofficial-like it didn't feel like a real interview. (830pm and i was in hospital scrubs cuz i had just gotten off work)

so this is like.. all official like! Its the only job i've applied for i've heard back from anyone about.. and ohh how i want it. Its night shift, 12 hr shifts...which is also exactly what i want (I'm a true night owl). Its a big high ranking hospital and they are i guess in the top 6% in terms of oncology programs in the nation...

I have a suit (skirt.. drk grey/ subtle pink pinstripes) its slightly too big but i think it'll still work alright. its gunna be 80 degrees that day, which sucks... im opting for the not-as-fancy-but-way-more-comfy shoes... cuz im meeting the guy in the lobby, so i figure there will be some walking involved and i want to keep up!

ohhh i hope i get it... i hate wanting it this badly. I have a little exp at this hospital too, I use to work for an agency in portland and I often worked there.. its been about 3 or so yrs since then but i am vaguely familiar with their computer charting system...

*crosses fingers* I know i'm cut out to be an Onc RN.. hope this is my in!

Any tips/advice about any of it is welcome!

I suck at asking them questions...seems like usually they end up answering em all for me before i get a chance!
