Hey Peebles, I realize this thread is a little old, but I was hoping you might remember what they asked you to rate yourself on? Thanks! PS. Did you get the job? If yes, how is it going? If no, I hope you are doing something that makes you happy.

Thanks everyone for the great responses. PDXSammy-I really appreciate the input from a nurse who decided to do something different than the hospital setting. I see myself in a community health setting at some point in the future. emtb2rn-I've really wondered about Emergency since I spent the night in one recently with my grandma. I was so impressed by her nurses's skill level. Thanks for the input.

Thanks everyone for the great answers! It is great to get a feel for what lies ahead. I know I always cope better when I least have some idea of what to expect.

Thanks for the quick reply ANH RN. I worry about time management all the time. In clinicals I only have one patient at a time which I can do no problem. I watch the nurses on the floor juggle 4-5 and think, how will I ever be able to do that? It seems like time management training is really missing in nursing school. I"m hoping they'll cover it in our Leadership class in the last semester. Thanks for your answers. Anyone else want to chime in?

I'm currently a nursing student in my senior year of a BSN program. I have been given an assignment to interview a new nurse. I don't know any new nurses personally and was hoping that someone here could answer my questions. The answers can be very brief. Thanks for helping me out. I really value what you have to say. 1. What is your title and what kind of unit do you work in? 2. How long have you worked in this unit/department? 3. What are your nursing responsibilities? 4. What continuing education and/or certification are required for your position? 5. What advice would you give a new graduating nurse? 6. What was the most difficult adjustment you had to make from nursing student to graduate nurse? 7. What has helped you the most in making the transition from student to graduate nurse?
