If it is an interview, I would dress for an interview. Not really sure about the doughnut part, other than the fact that now preggo me totally wants one!

Wear business clothes and don't bring donuts.

By the way, that was a really hard post to read.

I would dress for an interview and since I'm already leary about eating things my co workers bring in to share I absolutely would NOT eat something (even store bought) that someone I dont know brought in! Save your money and maybe wait til you are hired and bring in donuts to break the ice.:)

Better time to bring donuts is your first night of work. An interview calls for business attire. You aren't going there to work a shift on a trial basis.

Ok so just from these few responses, Im gonna go with what I knew ws right, just wanted to do something to stand out a little besides my qualifications. DONUTS AND SCRUBS are def out the window just like I thought. Just needed to hear it from other fellow nurses. I appreciate everyone......really.

Dress professionally and leave the donuts for your first Friday shift.

Wear business attire unless you are specifically told otherwise by the person interviewing you. To be honest, the only time you might wear scrubs to an interview is if you are going to be on the floor for several hours shadowing someone...and even then, wait to be told to wear scrubs--don't assume.

86 the donuts--they're not going to land you the job. Your interview will do that.

Wear standard interview attire.

As for the doughnuts, why wouldn't you let all the nurses have them if you brought them in ;)
