new grad

Published

I went for my first interview today as a new grad and totally blew it....I was asked what urine output would be expected on a patient you receive back from surgery answer 30 cc I was off by over 500. I feel so stupid a question you would be asked in first year nursing I got wrong. Such an easy question I dont know what I was thinking....... Totally discouraged from applying any further. :no:

Don't be discouraged from applying for other positions. Everyone gets nervous at job interviews. Continue to be yourself and be prepared. Wishing you the best.:nurse:

You're not going to succeed every time! It's the bumps in the road that get us to where we are meant to be. If it weren't for my bumpy road, I would never have even entered nursing.

Just hang in there. Apply and interview until you land a spot. Don't be so easily discouraged. The world isn't over after one flopped interview!

What a stupid question to be asked during a new grad interview. I never learned that in nursing school and would be totally thrown off.
