OR Nurse Educator

Any OR Nurse Educators out there? I've been trying to find a job since I completed my MSN. I had one job interview in July and didn't get it. However, I now have a phone interview on Friday (it's a start) for a job that I didn't apply for (applied for a different one). Apparently, this position isn't being advertised as I can't find it anywhere and my recruited didn't know about it. I do not have any experience in this type of position, but feel that I can do it. Any thoughts, encouragement, etc to share? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

    I applied for an educator job, but they wanted PACU experience in addition to O.R. experience, so ask them about this.

    Confidence, confidence, confidence. Answer your questions with purpose and with thought. Do not say "uh or umm". Have some excitement, but keep it low key. Try to envision yourself already having the job and it will give you a boost. GOOD LUCK!!!!

    You could also create a lesson plan on paper. Make a list of things you would teach to new nurses, and show it to the person interviewing you. This will show that you have initiative and a plan.

    I like this idea. I had never thought of that. It might have helped in my job interview last July. At a different interview I had given the nurse manager a copy of my MSN Capstone project to show her what I was capable of; plus it showed photos of me on a medical mission.

    Since my original post, I also have an interview at a hospital about 2 hours away. It's an assistant nurse manager, which may better suit my experiences. They are even paying for a hotel stay so I don't have to drive both ways in one day! This one sounds promising. :yeah:

    There are a few other hospitals I have to call back, but I'm trying to be choosy as to which one I call back (job preference, location, etc) as I only have one day off a week and I'm going away the end of this month... will keep you all posted.

    I hate using "uh" and "hum", but unfortunately, they still come out on occasion. :uhoh3:

    Thanks! :bugeyes:
