Thank you both for your time. Great advice! I once had 3 interviews for an RN position all in one day (and I did that on purpose) because the first two I didn’t really want, but knew the third one was one I wanted and I knew they were hard to get on with. I used the first two as practice and to help ‘calm my nerves’ a bit! And, I got the one I truly wanted!
Thank you for the great information. I think with new nurse practitioners they are so focused with passing boards that they don’t think about the future job interviews. I don’t have a question regarding looking at the school they went to on the application. I have been a preceptor for several NP students. Some are going to well known universities while others at the online only programs. I have found that it depends on the person. Some that were at online only schools, having to still work full time as an RN worked harder than some of the traditional school students. At the end of the day everyone still has to take the same boards and pass.
True, and I’ve seen this in real life as well. I always hate to generalize things bc it truly is so unique for people. But, when asked advice without knowing people I have to think in generalities. And the reality is, when you don’t know someone school choice has a factor in things.
IRL no. At least to my knowledge. The people who seem like good candidates on paper who interview poorly raise red flags that seem legitimate. I doubt just a fluke because we generally call former coworkers who affirm the concerns, so in my mind they are real. From a client perspective I hear stories of people who have good qualities that choke or just perform poorly. Unfortunately once the first impression is made it’s hard to retract or get a redo. Sometimes people are able to redeem themselves with a shadow day.

That’s a great tactic! The more times you do it in real life the better you get. But man, what a stressful day.

Thank you for great tips.
You are so welcome!
Have you had a time where the person did not interview well but was still the perfect candidate?
IRL no. At least to my knowledge. The people who seem like good candidates on paper who interview poorly raise red flags that seem legitimate. I doubt just a fluke because we generally call former coworkers who affirm the concerns, so in my mind they are real.

Which schools are diploma mills?
