Let's find it

I’ve worked in nursing for over 10 years and let me tell you — I have spent what feels like months of my life applying and interviewing for new grad programs , travel nurse positions, per diem roles, and staff nurse jobs. Filling out online applications can be overwhelming and exhausting, but finally landing an interview definitely gives you the boost you need! In this post, I’ll review some tried-and-true nursing interview tips and tricks  I have learned along the way. 12 NURSE INTERVIEW TIPS & TRICKS! Interviews are nerve-racking no matter how experienced you are! However, keeping calm under pressure is a true skill that takes time to master. If you’re smart, you’ll learn and practice these skills before your first official interview. Here are a few insights that helped me land my favorite jobs. INTERVIEW BASICS 1. DRESS THE PART! While it would be nice to think that nurse managers don’t judge a candidate's professionalism by how they present themselves, it’s simply not true. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to spend a month’s salary on a designer outfit or briefcase. The best thing you can do is wear something that makes you look and feel confident. Here are some nursing interview outfit ideas  to get you started. Women: A skirt or pantsuit with jacket and button down collared shirt or blouse Skirts or dresses should be knee-length Avoid flashy colors or patterns Heels should be low or wear flats, no open toes Pantyhose for skirts or dresses No cleavage exposure Natural hair color Earrings should be studs or no bigger than dime sized Necklace should be simple Handbag should be neutral No perfume or mild use of perfume Fingernails should be short and without chips in polish Men: A suit is preferred with jacket and button down collared shirt Pants and jacket should match, if they are not a suit Tie is optional but when in doubt, wear it Avoid bright colors or patterns Black or brown socks, avoid wearing white socks with dark dress shoes Black or brown dress shoes Natural hair color and neat haircut Mild cologne or none at all Neat and natural fingernails 2. PORTFOLIO For some nurses, a nursing professional portfolio   could mean a binder with a resume, cover letter, and career-boosting documents like Daisy Awards, research papers, and certifications . Other nurses may prepare an electronic portfolio that can be accessed on LinkedIn.  Whether you’re a new graduate or have years of clinical experience, you’ll want to show your interviewer that you’ve prepared and are genuinely interested in the position. Show them that you’re qualified for their role and don’t be afraid to boast about your successes! 3. DO YOUR RESEARCH Know the company & position you are interviewing for! You can start by familiarizing yourself with the organization’s mission, vision, and values. Next, learn a bit more about the patient population they serve. Again, the purpose here is to demonstrate that you’ve taken the time to prepare for this unique position — this is your opportunity to take your interviewer by surprise and get a leg up on other competing applicants. 4. ONE-MINUTE PITCH When introducing yourself in the interview, be sure to share a bit about your personal and professional background. Why did you choose nursing?  How do your experiences prepare you for this role? These are the questions interviewers will be looking for you to answer. 5. PRACTICE ANSWERING COMMON NURSE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS While each position is unique, interviewers don’t reinvent the wheel for each candidate. Most interviews start out with a basic interview question like “Tell me a bit about yourself” and go on to ask critical-thinking and behavioral questions later in the process. You can’t know the exact questions you’ll be asked, but you can guess what they’re going to want to know about you. Prepare by drafting answers to frequently asked nursing interview questions. That way, you’ve got a repository of answers you can use for a variety of interview questions. It can also be helpful to practice your interview with a friend or family member to perfect your flow, speed, and volume. CHECK OUT OUR E-BOOK COMPLETE WITH INTERVIEW TIPS & TRICKS. BONUS QUESTIONS, PORTFOLIO BREAKDOWN, RESUME AND COVER LETTER RESOURCES, SOCIAL MEDIA CONSIDERATIONS AND MORE! 6. ARRIVE EARLY Nothing adds extra stress to an interview like running behind. Be sure to arrive with plenty of time to avoid traffic, park, and figure out where you need to be. Managers will want to be sure that the employee they hire will show up for their shifts on time — be sure to put your best foot forward! 7. SMILE & MAINTAIN GOOD EYE CONTACT For some reason, there’s a common misconception that smiling during an interview isn’t professional. In nursing, this is definitely not the case. The interviewer will want to know they’re hiring someone who’s caring, kind, and compassionate. Be sure to demonstrate these signs of strong communication skills and showcase your passion and enthusiasm. Keep it natural, like you’re talking to a trusted mentor or colleague. 8. TAKE NOTES The interview process isn’t one sided. This is your opportunity to get to know a bit more about the hiring manager, unit, and facility as well. Taking notes can show interviewers that you’re interested in learning the details and logistics of the position. It can also help you remember points you want to get clarity on later in the interview, like scheduling expectations and onboarding requirements. 9. KEEP YOUR PHONE TURNED OFF AND TUCKED AWAY How embarrassing would it be if you worked hard to earn and prepare for your interview, only to be distracted by a loud call or text message? The best thing to do is to keep your phone in the car and avoid the problem altogether. If you need your phone with you for safety or navigation, be sure to turn it off prior to entering the interview room.  From the moment you step foot in the building, you want your focus to be on landing the job. Your family, friends, or significant other can hear all about it AFTER it’s over and done with! 10. BRING ALONG EXTRA COPIES OF YOUR RESUME AND COVER LETTER Some interviews may be held by a panel of hiring managers, educators, charge nurses, and HR personnel. You’ll want to make sure that everyone at the table receives your resume and cover letter. Bring along extra copies and offer them at the start of your interview. 11. PREPARE A SET OF QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR INTERVIEWER At the end of your interview, you’ll most likely be given the chance to ask questions before concluding. Take the opportunity to get additional insight on any professional development or research opportunities   the position may offer. It’s also important to thank the interviewer for their time. Consider sending a follow-up email or note to show your appreciation for the opportunity. LIST OF QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: 1. What is the size of the unit, organizational structure of the unit, volume? 2. Can you explain your overall organizational structure? 3. Can you discuss your take on the hospital's culture? and philosophy? 4. What does the transition period look like? Expectations of days / nights? 5. What does the orientation look like? Preceptorship? 6. What are some recommendations of getting involved and growing within the unit? 7. What will be the greatest challenge in the job? 8. What are the greatest strengths of this department? 9. Can you describe a typical day for someone in this position? 10. What are the traits and skills of people most successful within this unit? 11. What do you like about working here? 12. RELAX - YOU'VE GOT THIS! Trust me — if anyone knows about pre-interview anxiety, it’s me! However, I’ve learned over the years that the worst thing I can do for myself is to worry and overanalyze how things will go on the morning of the interview. At this point, you’ve put in the time and hard work. Now is when it all pays off.  Eat a good breakfast, get your favorite coffee, and listen to some pump-up music. Take a few deep breaths and remember that you deserve all of the great things coming for you.  Envision yourself getting your dream job and let that vision come to life in your interview. You are going to kill it! Things you can do early: ♡ Spruce up your Resume (typing it out will help you fill in the blanks & be ready to start applying) ♡ Make a list of possible references of people who would write a letter of recommendation for you (get their emails) usually need 2-3 references ♡ Participate in leadership activities at school to stand out in applications ♡ Start an excel spreadsheet of hospitals/units you would consider applying to.

Those who know me know that I absolutely love Tucson, Arizona . As a proud University of Arizona nursing school graduate ( #beardown ), I’m always looking for ways to brag about the college, the town, and all that it offered me as a new nurse entering the healthcare world.  I lived and worked in Tucson for five years, taking in all that the city had to offer. I loved every second of living there, and was sad to have to leave the vibrant community, natural beauty, and incredible weather that comes with living in this special place.  Many of my close friends, nursing, and social media followers have been discussing high nurse burnout rates at the hospitals where they work. The increased costs of living in many of the fun, vibrant areas have made it challenging to afford the work-life balance and adventure that so many nurses are looking for. Many of my healthcare friends look to balance an exciting career with a fun and healthy lifestyle but can find it challenging to make that a reality. I’ve read a lot in the news recently about how Tucson is investing time, money, and resources   in developing healthcare growth and opportunities in the region, which makes me so excited for my beloved town and the lucky nurses who’ll get to live and work there.  What makes living and working in Tucson so great? Here, I’ll review my top five favorite things about being a nurse in Tucson and showcase the reasons this special city is so close to my heart. Top 5 Reasons to Move to Tucson for Nursing ♡ Tucson is a hustling healthcare hub with incredible career and educational opportunities Whether you’re a new nurse, looking to go back to nursing school, or are a seasoned pro looking for a new adventure, Tucson has so much to offer young professionals working in the healthcare field. The city houses three main medical centers: Banner-University Medicine , El Rio Health , and TMC Health . These hospitals offer robust emergency/trauma, medical and surgical services and specialties.  In addition to these facilities, The University of Arizona  is home to dozens of state-of-the-art science departments, including a school of nursing and a college of medicine. There is a large amount of funding going into making the Tucson medical industry an exciting and supportive place to work, making it the perfect time to consider moving to the area.  ♡ The affordability of the city makes it easy to balance finances and fun.   The cost of living in Tucson is 6% below the national average , making it easier to afford a lifestyle of fun and sun while working in a healthcare role. The average home price in Tucson sits at around $318,000, making it a prime place to live for first time home buyers.  In my opinion, Tucson is truly a hidden gem. The city is very dog and family-friendly, full of good public schools and parks. The college-town vibe makes it feel like new and exciting things are always popping up, while the small-town charm keeps the city warm and inviting as the population grows and expands . Traffic is light for most commutes, which makes it easier for residents to choose where they want to live in town without having to consider how far from the hospital their drive will be.  ♡ There are limitless opportunities for outdoor fun and exploration on days off.  As a night shift nurse, my days off are everything to me! With our long shifts, crazy sleep patterns, and stressful working environments, nurses need to live somewhere that they can find work-life balance. The top healthcare employers in the Tucson area offer top-quality benefits, vacation time, and flexible scheduling, making it easier for you to enjoy days off your way.  Living in Tucson, I knew that every day would be warm and sunny, which meant I could optimize my time with friends and family while I was away from the NICU. Because the town is nestled in the Sonoran Desert, there are so many things to see and do here to rest and recover on days off. Some of the most popular outdoor activities here include: Playing a round of golf  at one of the 40 beautiful courses in the area. Hiking through the desert, forests, and mountains ( Saguaro National Park  and the Coronado National Forest  are two of my favorite sites to explore). Biking on the protected 131-mile trail called “ The Loop ”.  Grabbing fresh produce or artisan goods at a farmers market .  Going horseback riding  through one of the local ranches.  ♡ Tucson is a cultural hub of music, art, food, and drinks.  Known as the Old Pueblo for its Spanish and Native American history, Tucson has an incredible heritage and culture full of art and music. It’s also been rated as the sixth best food city  in the U.S. by Travel+Leisure — you know I love good tacos and margaritas! The three main hospitals in the area are located in the heart of the city, which make it easy to grab tasty food on a lunch break or listen to a local musician after a long shift! Nursing can be tough, and everyone needs a bit of fun on their days off! Events like the Tucson Folk Festival  and the Tucson Mariachi Conference  are fun to visit with friends and family. On easier and more relaxed days, it’s easy to step out and grab fresh produce or artisan goods at a farmers market . ♡ There are endless networking opportunities to help your nursing career flourish. Networking is the name of the game when it comes to finding a new job  or taking the next step in your nursing career. With three major medical centers and The University of Arizona on your doorstep, you’ll be presented with a variety of conferences, seminars, and other education events  that can help you envision yourself in the next stage of your professional nursing journey. Become a Nurse in Tucson and See Your Career Thrive It’s easy to talk about a place you love. For me, my time in Tucson was invaluable and it made me the clinician I am today. If you’re stuck in a rut, are feeling burned out, or are just looking to take the next step in your nursing journey, I fully recommend transforming your career in Tucson. Here, you can find out more about nursing opportunities in Tucson  and discover additional perks of living and working in this bustling and beautiful city.  Tori Meskin MSN RNC-NIC. Nurse. Blogger.

If you work in the NICU, you know that practice guidelines constantly change and adapt to align with new research findings. Research is essential to safe nursing care, and without strong unit-based evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) projects, it’s difficult to ensure our tiny patients are receiving the most appropriate therapies and interventions! If you’re planning your next NICU research project, paper, or nursing school  capstone project, it can be tough to come up with fresh and creative ideas.
