Periop. Interview-Help

Hi there, I have been a nurse for a little over a year in med-surg. I have always been interested in the OR and also got to experience it in nursing school and loved it. I have an interview in a week for a position. They are interviewing 18 and accepting 5. What will make me stand out? A couple of days before the interview, I plan on finding some of the interviewers and introduce myself so they have a face to put with a name (the interview consists of a panel of 5 people). They will be asking me questions about conflict resolution, why I want to be an OR nurse, patient education, etc. Are there any periop nurses out there that have some good advice for me or what kind of questions I should ask!?

I hire OR nurses in my job and I look for calm staff members who can be thoughtful with the patients. It is however important to get across your ability to have thick skin to deal with the surgeons. You should plan to bring some examples with you that you can share on how you pick up on high tech equipment, can make quick changes when necessary and attention to detail. There is no better place than the OR. Wise choice. You probably don't need to ask a lot of questions, a panel has the upper arm so you need to share as much about you as possible. Look excited, not scared!!!!
