Why do you want to work here?

Best of luck in your interview. (Are you a CSB/SJU grad?) I just graduated from MN State Mankato.

I would also encourage you to apply at MPLS VAMC for their new grad program. (They need a lot of nurses in both acute polytrauma and extended care.)

The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing has an excellent interview guide.

I have posted this link here several times.

I found these practice questions invaluable. I was asked at least half of them.

There is a long, informative thread on interview questions here on allnurses:

Good luck!

In addition to being able to answer common interview questions, make sure you're knowledgeable about the hospital you're interviewing at (at least spend some time on their website), be able to give more than one reason why you'd like to work there, and definitely come armed with questions. Think of several before you go in, since your interviewer will probably answer some of them while explaining the position. Ask about their magnet status if they have it and when they're up for reaccreditation, ask specifics about the orientation program, and ask your interviewer to describe the qualities of a successful candidate. Do NOT ask what the position pays, or anything else about compensation or benefits in an initial interview. I just got hired at an L1TC and my interview wasn't what I expected, but all my prepping at least helped with the nerves and I was able to ask her some of the above questions and keep her talking for a few more minutes. Good luck!

Thank you for posting that. Great information, indeed!

Does anyone have a good response on how to answer your greatest strength and weakness?
