Good Luck on the interview. What to wear - which looks more professional?

Good luck on your interview! When I interviewed for a new job in December, I totally forgot to prepare for this really basic question: 'So, tell us about yourself.'
Again, good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Just look professional. I woundn't go with the long black dress. But I'm not a fashion queen.
Good luck!

Hmmmm, go with the professional pant suit.
I wouldn't wear a long black dress, that may look like you're heading to an Opera or Symphony right after your interview.
As for the questions, Why do you want to be a nurse, what kind of nursing are you interested in, why did you choose this school, what are your future plans in nursing/education, family/jobs info, and the one everyone hates, "Tell me about yourself".
Good luck!!!!!

I, too, vote for the pant suit. But, go with what you feel most confident in and what looks most professional. Just remember all the interviewing tools--good eye contact, ask good questions, and BREATHE! You'll be fine--Good Luck to you:)
