Need Pointers For Interview

Hello Everyone,

it has been a long time since I've posted. I have grown a lot since I started as a new grad and I have enjoyed every part of it. I have always been interested in education. Improving myself and helping others improve has always been a major drive in my career.

I recently saw a posting at my hospital for a RN Staff Educator. I decided to apply without hesitation. I am in different committees, meetings, and always looking for ways to improve my unit. That's why the job posting really peaked my interest.

The posting said that a Master's was preferred, but not required. Obtaining my masters in education is definitely on my list. I gave it a shot. To my surprise, I got a call from HR and they want to interview me. :)

I'm looking for any suggestions or input that could be helpful for this interview. What can I expect?

Thank you in advance for your help. I'm very exited and scared at the same time!

    Welcome to the tribe! (educators, that is)

    Make sure you are prepared to highlight all the education you have done... as a preceptor, helping with an inservice, etc. This will show that you have an interest & you have already tested the waters.

    Education departments are generally interested in recruiting staff that have a firm grasp of the organization's P&P, high levels of clinical expertise, willing to go the extra mile, like working with new staff/students, well spoken, good oral & written communications, computer power-user, creative and innovative that come across as positive and optimistic..... whew!

    Keep in mind that (if you get the job) you'll probably be losing pay. Educators are generally exempt & not eligible for all the salary bumps that are provided to direct care staff. None of us are in it for the $, that's for sure.

    Let us know how your interview goes. Fingers are crossed for you.
