I have an interview in a couple of weeks & I was just wondering who I will be interviewing with?

Specializes in Postpartum. Special Care Nursery.
Then I need some Valium ha!! Thanks, I do need to brush up on first aid. Where do you currently work sunshine?[/quote']

;) I was working in a special care nursery which i loved but decided to quit so that I could be home with my daughter. That was 9 years ago and so much has changed in the medical field which makes re-entry very challenging. Where do you currently work monkeysmami?

OMG, I am so sorry I just saw your messages. How did your interview go??? Congrats, what did they ask you? I am working in group homes it is really flexible, no nights, no weekends, but I am not happy there. I also think it may be a resume killer. I have only been an RN for 2 years so I am still trying to find my way in this nursing thing. Good Luck let me know what happens.

Specializes in School Nurse; ICU.

My advice (don't know how much it is worth but here it goes) is that you are going to be talking with non-medical people for the most part. They think like educators and not nurses. They want to hear key words like community involvment, parent contact, health programs (can say a few specific to the age level like dental, health prevention and promotion). They want to know that you are going to cover them from liability (don't use those words exactly but they do want that) and that you are going to make them look good.

If you are interviewing with a nurse then look up the policies and procedures for your state and have an outline of a plan for what the year would be like-or at least have a few questions about those things so that they know you have already taken the time to look that up

I have been looking up the policies, but that is a good idea I will make an outline. Thanks for your input Cav5!!!!
