I got a job offer in the ICU!!
I didn't think I would get this far! 😱 It was my very first nursing job application.
I ran my resume and cover letter by a nurse friend, and verbally prepared answers to nursing interview questions that I found online. I also watched some videos on Youtube of other people doing mock nursing interviews.
I have a strong GPA (3.84) and really emphasized how excited I am about the learning opportunities the ICU would present. I also had one of their floor nurses as a clinical instructor last semester, which we talked about in the interview, so I suspect she was able to speak to my pros/cons if they asked.
My interview was much shorter than I expected coming from a non-nursing profession. I actually left wondering if I fucked up and they cut my interview short 😅 Apparently not!
