Unorthodox Interview. Help!!!

[jeangarc18]

I've been volunteering at this hospital for about 6 months now. I work a full 12 hour shift essentially precepting with another RN. After half a year I thought I'd gone unnoticed.. Until finally half an hour before my shift ends the unit secretary pats me on the back and says that the director is on the phone for me. I thought I was in trouble. She actually called to set up an interview with me next week on Wednesday when I'm back on the floor. She said she didn't need anything from me... And she'll just come grab me some time during the day. This is not quite the interview I'm used to as I won't be able to dress professionally nor did she ask for any of my papers (letters of rec, transcript, resume... Etc.) I will try not to be a hot mess when she comes but taking care of people... Kinda makes me sweat. Literally. Any ideas how to calm the nerves, take care of my patients, and still look professional/presentable in my ugly volunteer outfit?

That must've been a bummer to have gotten yourself psyched up only to not have the interview.

Good luck! I'm sure interviewing on a busy day would have really shaken your nerves.

Thank you! Ya it did. I almost cried in front of my last patient. And I cried on the way home... I had my best friend mock interview me the night before so I was prepared already... But disappointment yet again...
