Overseas RN interviewing for OR position ~ via Skype!! Help!!

Published

Hi everyone,

I am a British RN who has been working towards my dream of living in Texas for many years now. I now finally meet the criteria for a H1b visa (passing NCLEX, TX RN license issued, getting Visa Screen certificate, taking & passing the CNOR exam and achieving certification - all done here in the UK whilst working full time as a British RN)and as anyone who has done this from outside the States and was trained/educated in a way which is massively different from American nurse training would probably agree, it is hands down the biggest achievment of my life so far. The second achievement will, obviously, be securing a position and making the dream become a reality. So, finally, I have been blessed with TWO interviews! I have already had 2 'preliminary' Skype interviews with recruiters, and next week I have 2 second interviews scheduled with the nurses in charge of the departments. In all probability they will be the ones who ultimately decide whether or not to extend an offer of employment, so I am EXTREMELY anxious to get it right. One of these interviews is going to be in front of the whole nursing team of the department so I am having sleepless nights! Is this what is classified as a Peer Interview? Anybody out there ever had a Skype interview? Or if anyone just has some general interview tips for me for experienced OR nurses, or for overseas nurses interviewing for USA positions, it would be a wonderful help. Thank you!!!:cool:
