Help student nurse with first interview on monday

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

So I currently work as a pca at a local hospital on the rehab floor for that last 3 1/2 years. I have been told by almost every single nurse on my floor that I am the best pca ever. I am told that I am hard working, compassionate, always cheerful and that i learn very quickly(i was also told this by all of my clinical instructors). So needless to say they all say that they will miss me when i leave. so let me cut to the chase my dream job is the nicu then picu then med surg peds. However i also love adults and have been applying for several icu positions in my hospital. I have called the nurse recruiter about a month ago and left a message stating that i am currently employed at this hospital, i graduate on December 15 with my AAS in nursing and would like to touch base with her about what i can be doing right now. So last friday a nurse manger in our hospital from another floor who also works as a nursing supervisor came to my floor and told me she has heard so much good stuff about me. She asked me have i been interviewing and where would i like to work i told her no and the icu. She then told me to email her info so i did this past monday. I got a call for an interview on monday with the nurse recruiter and I'm nervous and excited!!!!! any pointers on how to grab me a gn position??? sorry this was so long

congrats! Be yourself! They want someone interested in learning, who is a team player, and provides great compassionate care. It sounds like you will do great!

Practice practice! Look up questions and try to answer quickly without sounding silly. Also, if there's something you really want to mention make up a way you can remember it. At the end, when you say thank you you can say I appreciate you taking the time to interview me and can't wait to contribute x,y,z. Good luck!
