Thanks for all the responses! This company has a very good reputation within my community and have a long and thorough preceptorship period as well as slowly ramping up new grads from one pt. a day once on their own. It's a fantastic opportunity and they said they just wanted to "get a feel for which candidate would be the best fit". Is there anything I can really do to edge out the competition or is it just a matter of building rapport with my preceptor and clients?

Hello! I am a new grad RN who is actively job seeking. I had an interview with a home health company a few days ago and felt the interview went well, and they told me that they had other candidates they were interviewing later in the week. Today they called me to schedule a ride along as a part of the interview process and will be doing so with with the other applicants as well. I have never heard of doing a ride along or shadow type experience as part of the interview process. I am unsure of any ways to make myself stand out or what to expect. In school when we did ride along or shadow type experiences it was a hands-off type situation in which we just observed, asked questions, took notes, etc. Do you guys think this will be the same expectation? What exactly do you think they are looking for? Does anyone have any tips? The market is EXTREMELY tight over here and this is only one of two interviews I've had in my 4 weeks of actively applying to SNF's, Home health, Hospitals, and everything in between and I REALLY want this job.
