Hi everyone!,

I would like to ask what should I wear in a nursing job interview?

Business attire, a nice suit. Be sure that it is clean and pressed.

Good Luck!!!!!!!

I agree! I went to an interview just last week; I wore a nice pantsuit-very professional.

Agreed. I always wear a suit. Some will say it's not necessary, but I'll bet if all other things are equal and it's time to make a decision, the one who dresses more professionally will get the job.

I agree on a suit...unless you currently have a job and can arrange to go right over after finishing from the primary job. You can feel comforable in scrubs and can show a real work ethic by scheduling right after a long worked shift.

Good Luck!

I always wear a suit or something comparable (e.g. dress with jacket). Why take a chance? If I didn't get the job, I would always wonder if the fact that I had not dressed up for it was part of the reason why I had been rejected.
