Nursing in Today's World PDF

I didn't read it as much as I should while in school, but all the advice for preparing for the job hunt, including interviewing, cover letters, resumes, what to ask the employer, what to expect them to ask you, and etiquette, was DEAD on. I carried it to seven interviews. Every question listed was asked in some form or another. I found it very useful, even though I'd had a previous career and this wasn't my first time interviewing. Higher level terms and management concepts which might be "boring" or "fluff" as mentioned in other reviews really did come in to play. Shared governance? You want to work in a hospital that has that in place for it's nursing staff. Magnet facility? Check!

4 of my interviews were panel interviews of 5 to 9 persons. 3 of my interviews asked if I knew the mission and vision for the hospital. I wouldn't have thought to prepare in such detail prior to the first phone interview if not for this book. If your goal is to work for a top hospital or to enter a new graduate RN program (residency or intern program as they're sometimes called), then you need to be prepared to understand the management and business side of your future employer as much as your individual role and responsibilities.
