Since then, I have been applying for my dream job along with jobs I think my experience will match. I have a pending job offer for ER and an interview for an CVICU position at a large teaching hospital next week.
Tomorrow I have, an interview for my DREAM job, which is mother/baby on a post partum unit.
Please say a prayer for me y'all. Obstetrics has ALWAYS been my passion. My personality is just not the ER or ICU type.I pray I get this job!!!!
Best of luck! I have been a critical care nurse for over 10 years, but feel my personality and interests also lie with maternity. My problem is, I can't get a job in that area! I hope it works out for you.
I know, isn't it crazy. With your experience, I'd assume it would be a breeze to land a maternity job.
I am another one who likes to be prepared. You can anticipate the types of questions the interviewer will ask, with the expectation that you are able to reflect and provide clinical examples. I always write out my answers in advance and read through my past performance reviews. Sure, I still get a little nervous. However, I generally find interviews to go well. Remember that you are also interviewing the employer. If the manager is cold or indifferent, then I probably don't want to work for them. Good luck!
My interview for PP was cancelled again and rescheduled. I can't help but to feel discouraged after it being cancelled twice now. I recently turned down 2 offers, hoping this one would pan out.
I'm still keeping my faith that I'll find my niche and excel. I used to be a job hopper and now that I'm in a postion where money is not a priority for me right now, I've decided to make my decisions very carefully.
