Have an example of a difficult situation/conflict you had to resolve and an area of improvement for yourself that your are comfortable talking about ready to go. Review institutional values and mission and be prepared to speak to how it resonates with you and your nursing practice. Ask about unit’s culture. Practice with a friend that will give you honest and helpful feedback. You got this!

Just be yourself. I think confidence is key! Go in with your head held high ready to accept the job when they offer! You will nail it.

Yes! Absolutely I completely forgot to mention that! What a great tip!
Also, depending on your hair texture, and budget you could go to the salon and splurge on a blow out or a new hair do the day before or if there's time before the interview, a quick trim and style. Or a tried a true fail safe, make sure you have extra time to get ready before your interview and arrive early. Being prepared and dressed to impress is a great confidence booster.

Search interview questions. Go ahead and have a good idea about what will be asked. Usually, best quality, worst quality, Tell me a time where you had conflict how did you resolve it? Why did you apply for this position ect.
Answer truthfully, but also think about how the answer reflects on you as an employee and a co-worker. I am terrible at interviewing but a little prep and I recently rocked an interview. Research your position. Know what will be required or at least have a good idea. Have questions for your interviewers. Ask about the position. What challenges did the last person who held the position face? Or how long was the position held by the last employee? It gives you an idea of turn over and if you may or may not be a good fit. Ask about things that are import to you such as continuing ed opportunities or who would your immediate supervisor be. Be prepared to insert small bits of knowledge about the company. "I'm familiar with xyz and I know that is unique to Kaiser, it's something that drew me to your facility.... "
Good luck on your new adventure.

No one wants a nurse manager job. Kaiser pays you very well. You got this. You should be asking Kaiser why you should work for them. They do a lot of care rationing and borderline unethical things like denying cancer patients the latest treatments. I had a colleague work in their oncology research department that made these decisions she was aghast and disgusted. If you are okay with those things you’ll be a great manager for them.

She work there for little over 18 months. Until
She found another job. Kaiser has phenomenal pay, a pension plan, and generally Cadillac benefits. She gave up the gold hand shake because she thought she was violating her ethics as she wasn’t doing the right thing for the patients by continuing to work for them.

Nice, while I hate it as well...I just learned a little tip. They are here to listen to the info you have not to see you...so when confident in sharing the information they want it all goes well.
