RN Panel Interview

I have been working on the telemetry unit as a "nurse extender" (CNA who has already graduated nursing school) for 8 months (I graduated nursing school LAST August with my BSN). I have a 6 panel interview this Thursday with my manager and 5 other nurses that work on the unit with me. There are 2 new grad position openings and there are 3 of us nurse extenders competing for the positions. The other two have both been working here for about 5 months and both graduated in December. The first girl interviewed yesterday and it took an hour and a half :( Mostly situational questions. The next girl interviews today and mine is tomorrow. I'm so nervous!

First:

How does a panel interview work? (how do they choose who gets the position)

What questions can I ask since I already work on the unit?

Are my chances any better since I have been here longer?

If I don't get the job will I ever get an RN Position being a year out?

Also, one of the other girls only has an ADN. Does that make a difference?

Thanks!!!

    Maybe they will see it as you being really passionate?

    I've heard horror stories from my friends that got interviews. One of them said that one of their questions was: What you would do for a heart patient? They wanted the answer MONA. My friend blanked. She said one of the nurses in the panel said: "Haven't you ever heard of MONA?" Poor thing. And that's just one horror story I've heard.

    Don't worry. At least you are getting experience for your interviews. And everyone has little hiccups here and there. It's very nerve-racking for the the new grad, so chin up! You did your best!

    Hope you get that position! :)

    What is MONA anyway?? lol
