Interview Process
I will be graduating from a nursing program in December '08. I'm very excited. I am actually interviewing for University of Maryland's R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. Next week, I will interview with the nurse managers.
I am looking for some advice for the interview, maybe thoughts from those who know about the shock trauma units. Any advice on this process or the first year would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
