UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Hi guys, please help! Going to a 2nd interview on Med Surg Unit at a hospital. Because it is nurses that i will b working elbow to elbow with, wanted to know if 1) Its approp to wear scrubs to blend in w my potential coworkers and relax the interview a bit and 2) Its an AM interview, could i bring in donuts for the girls or would i b looked at as a suck up? Please someone reply, it would b most helpful. Just need ur thoughts on this. Thx

Ok so at this point im going to brush up bringing my best qualities out during the interview plus my usual professional attire. Got it! I really enjoyed interviewing with unit manager the first time around and REALLY feel that this unit is a good fit for ME. Just want them to feel the same, ive been on several interviews this mo and havent felt as ecstatic after leaving the interview as I had after this one. WISH ME LUCK...KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS. THX in advance .

When I had my interview the manager called and told me to wear scrubs for the interview. I felt very comfortable. If they didn't tell you to wear scrubs you should def. Wear appropriate clothes for the interview. No food.

And with a peer interview its about how to show that u can easily adapt to become a part of the team or how well u work in team? Is that the goal with peer interviews?

Please no scrubs or donuts! I understand your want to be accepted but it's a professional relationship. You don't have to wear a business suit. Maybe just a pair of dress pants and blouse that isn't too casual.

Dress for interview- skip the donuts. You're probably meeting with the manager or requiter. Rarely do staff have input with interview process

Wear the most professional attire you have and pull your hair back take it easy on the jewelry. No donuts. Arrive 5 minutes early-not earlier than that...you don't want to cause any interruption with anything the manager is trying to finish up on before you arrive.

Wear business clothes and don't bring donuts.

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

My daughter texts me like that all the time......:lol2: she's 15.

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

Just a heads up: Some women would find being adressed as "the girls" offensive. Plus a lot of us call our breasts "the girls" I might get confused as to whom the doughtnuts are being offered...picture me stuffing one in each bra, saying thank-you and walking away!
