things NOT to say in an L&D interview

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

HI! Well I'm an Icu rn right now but I have an interview next week for a L&D position!!!!!!!!

So I know the usual interview questions and how to answer questions correctly but I thought I would throw it out there... Is there anything not to say? For instance, I became truly passionate about pregnancy, childbirth, ect when I got pregnant and then having my daughter and spending 3 days in L&D ( 72 hour labor) and 3 more in PP and kind of seeing what the nurses did & talking Witt them I made my mind up!

Is bringing up my own experience being pregnant & delivery something NOT to bring up? Any other NO. NOs for the interview?

Thanks!!!!!!!

well , thank yo everone again for your 2 cents. it helped becasue........... I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yeah:I am so excited to begin this new journey and I look forward to the new world of L & D! I did not bring up my daughter in the interview, or the significant impact the L & D nurses played in my own long & trying delivery, but I wish I could tell them personally how amazing they were and that experieincing what they can do for a new mom and the role they play in labor and the delivery made my decision to go for the switch. I hope I can become half as good as those nurses were and that I can hopefully one day make an impact on a woman like the one that was made on me.

Thanks again!!!:)
