Interview this week! Wish me luck!

Published

Hello all!

I have an interview with a research hospital associated with a major university for a position in the CVICU this week!

I'm trying to keep my nerves down, but I'm beginning to get a little anxious. We scheduled the interview two weeks ago, but they wanted to bring the entire cardiac team together to interview me (which I took as a good sign) and this was the soonest they could all come together.

I have my resume polished and my cover letters written, waiting until Monday to print everything so they are still nice and crisp. This is my "dream job" and I've been trying to get on here for years. Any advice you have will be greatly appreciated! I'm keeping my fingers crossed and would appreciate your thoughts and prayers!

Thank you! :)

I just interviewed in a CVICU and got the job, so I don't have too much advice considering I've never been on the other side but here's a little. My main suggestion is to be yourself and stay positive. Look up interview questions (there are TONS out there) and show them you have a passion for nursing/cardiology. I'm currently on a step down and helped with a panel interview a while back and one nurse who I thought was fantastic was looked down on from others because she complained about her current manager, charge nurses, and patient ratios.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes :)
