I'm back from my interview! I have no idea how I did
I was a blt blindsided by the interview. I haven't interviewed for a nursing job in something like 15 years and it seems the process has changed. They are now done by panel interview meaning that you sit in front of 2 or more nurses who take turns asking you various questions ranging from general to nursing situational, and you have to respond. Your answers are then given a score and the highest score plays a role in who gets the job. Obviously references and qualifications too. I know I nailed the references and qualifications. But I'm so not sure about the interview itself.
One thing in my favour! I showed up for the interview sick with a really bad cold, and the nurses interviewing me were also sick with a cold, so we were all coughing, sneezing and blowing our noses! We had some good casual interaction as well, and some laughs. So hopefully I came across as easy going and likeable.
They will make their decision today sometime and let the winning candidate know next week.
I so hope I get the job! The hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 4:15pm, with 2 days of clinic with my very own Oncologist that I will be working with exclusively. On those days if the clinic runs longer I will be expected to stay but that would only be until about usually 6pm at the latest. The other 3 days I would be doing various nursing tasks and seeing patients for nursing assessments and contacting patients by telephone for follow-ups and fielding phone calls from patients who are having problems or needing to make an appointment etc.
This job sounds like it was made with me in mind! I hope I get it. Please send lots and lots of TCS vibes!!!
