  1. When presented with a scenario you’ve never encountered, don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know; but I’ll find out!” Then go find out!

  2. most places are so desperate for nurses, they will hire the new ones right out of school..Covid has made it easier for new nurses to get jobs, but they also expect you to do things that the senior nurses are saying no way. So always protect yourself because your employer would rather get a bonus than pay for a new n95 for you.

  3. My interviews were in scrubs. I was told to wear scrubs. I did iron them real good before I went. I have a taken a note pad with questions already written and with notes about the faculty I looked up before the interview
