Hi! I didn't find thread with such topic so I thought it would be great to gather here useful job interview tips to help everybody. So I'll start with the one I watched before my first interview. It was rather useful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdh2ZB5BKrI

When of the advantages of being a RN is all of the specialty areas where you can gain experience. By working in a critical care specialty unit, you can move on to work in other units where the same skill set is needed such as radiology, ambulatory surgery, etc. You can also consider going back to school to become a CRNA.

I am seriousy considering becoming a legal nurse consultant. Is there work available in this area? I don't want to spend the time and effort to pursue this if the work is not there.

I would like to know if it is realistic to work part time in a float pool when going to school to become a CRNA. I have heard it is too demanding and not possible-is this true?

It may be best to look at jobs in intermediate or monitored units to get started and getting your ACLS on your own shows initiative and your willingness to learn.

It is definitely best to get a BSN at some point in your career. Many jobs require a minimum BSN degree especially if you are interested in getting into a managementposition. In addition to the extra knowledge you learn, it helps to advance the preception of nursing being a profession and not just a technical job.

Is a BS enough, or should I go for a MS or PhD? If I go for the grad degree, is it better to work for a few years first?
