Interview today for Urgent Care...need some pointers

Published

I am not a new nurse--been a nurse for about 7 and 1/2 years actually--but I have been out of work for about 6 months. I left my last job miserable and realizing that I have come to learn something. There is more then just the pt population that makes for job satisfaction. I have learned in my almost 8 years that the co-workers and setting and hours that you work (that they work for your life) are just as important. So I have been holding out and not just taking any job I could get. I was called back for a position I applied for at a local Urgent Care center. I have to interview with the doc that runs the place. Any advice from those of you who work or have worked in Urgent care? I have not worked in this setting so any help would be appreciated!!!

Mention how well you multitask and are able to think quick on your feet. Mention you understand this would be a quick paced environment and are able to treat people with dignity and respect while quickly rendering treatment. Just some thoughts..good luck, sounds like a great opportunity.:nurse:

thanks....it went well I think. Sounds like the doc is interested in having me come on starting with a shift or two here and there to see if I like it. As he called it--"date before we run and get married" !!! LOL he was a funny doc!

Funny thing though.....I have been out of work for 6 months and have to get back desperately. As I walked through the door after this interview I got a call to set up a phone interview for another job!!! I have that one today! Hoping I get something!!!! fingers are crossed!!!
