Thanks so much!

I have had several interviews with hospitals and always get the sorry letter. I don't interview very well because there is 3 or 4 people throwing questions at me that takes me time to think about what to say and I get very nervous. Well, Friday I have another interview at a small psych in-patient facility and need to know what kind of things I need to know for this interview. I have only been a nurse for one year and only had psych in clinicals. Although seems like psych work at the long term facility I am at now. Any help with questions for this interview would be appreciated.

I've had 3 jobs in LTC since I received my license last July. First two were cutting hours for low census. 3rd job 38 residents, 2 CNA's sometimes, night shift, g-tubes, IV's to run, meds to pass, wound care, charting, meds to log in, meds to return, phones, filing and help do CNA work because they spent 2 hours in one resident's room. I was fired yesterday for med error. Didn't give resident 2 pain pills instead of one and she complained, not to me, it was the middle of the night and I had to wake her up to give her one. She was suppose to get 2. Order changed. My fault. I don't know if I should put I was fired or totally give up on the nursing profession? Help!
