I’m a New Grad RN and recently started applying for jobs. What should a wear to my interview? Are scrubs appropriate or should it be professional attire. Also what questions should I expect to be asked during the interview?

Hello!
I always wear a dress or skirt and nice shirt- little heal. It’s important that you look like you’re taking this seriously!!
Be happy and upbeat! You’re glad to b there and u want this job. Questions they typically ask -
1) why do u wanna work here
2) best thing about u
3)worst thing about u - don’t actually say the worst thing - say something like u aren’t good at delegating or your a prefectionist
4) describe a difficult situation and how u resolved it
My personal thing- pick 3 favorite stories about u at work and crowbar them into the interview - something about u going above and beyond
Always ask how much $ and have a number in line - your valuable treat yourself like it
Lastly- ask what’s the next step
Good luck! And welcome!!

Unless you already work there, I would advise to business/professional attire. This is usually a great first impression. If you are already employed at this hospital and happen to interview after shift, explain beforehand that you may be in your scrubs.

I would wear business casual or professional. NO open toed shoes and nothing revealing or short.

Always wear professional attire. Scrubs are not acceptable.
