Interview today for a PACU job... nervous

[misty_dawn]

I have a telephone interview for a PACU job. I have worked PACU exclusively for the past year but have over 3 years experience in it. She said they are looking to hire since a traveler bailed out on them. She also said that they will be asking senario questions, about 10 questions total. Why the heck am I so nervous?

Maybe because my family and I have been waiting for this move for several months and I have been applying since July, even at the Prison up there and am just now hearing things. I really hope I nail this job and get this interview. I wonder what kind of scenario questions will be asked? Any ideas?

I think you need to find out what kind of surgery they do, whether you'll be recovering major cases, if it has a busy trauma unit etc. Get an idea of the kind of specifics they might possibly ask you.

To be honest, I haven't a clue what kind of scenario they'll be looking at, whether it will be focusing on actual recovery of a patient.... Been too long since I was in an interview lol.

I'd say your previous experience gives you a leg up over any opposition; you know this stuff, just stay calm and don't let them fluster you.
