Hi everyone! I'm a long time lurker and finally made an account!
I passed NCLEX-PN and currently waiting for my physical license to come in the mail! I do not have any medical field experience besides clinicals. My current full time job is a front desk receptionist.
I've been browsing articles/threads about interview questions and whatnot but I haven't come across anything regarding how an interview goes for a nurse who hasn't had any medical field experience whatsoever!
So for those who have been in my shoes before {new grad with no experience}...
-Was it tough getting an interview without the medical field experience?
-What questions were you asked in the interview?
-Was it easy to relate non-nursing experience to interview questions?
-Any other advice or tips you can give me regarding a potential interview?
I'm freaking out because I feel like it will be a challenge for me to get an interview in the first place! I do have my IV certification as well as 4 years experience as front desk receptionist.. hopefully it will boost my chances! Any advice or help is very much appreciated!!
