Undergrad RN, UNE
OH YEAHHHHHHHH
I went in there and blew their minds with my clinical genius!
Okay, I was pretty nervous but very prepared.
FYI - I read a tip about putting baby powder on your hands to prevent clamminess. I suffer from seriously sweaty palms when I am under the microscope so I tried it. It worked very well. No one got grossed out by shaking my hand for a change...
At the end of the interview, they offered me the position, on the condition that I am:
A) not a criminal, and
B) not lying about being a nursing student
So orientation's on April 26 and 27!
Unfortunately the position (like every freakin' position in this province) is only a 0.5 FTE. So I will also be keeping my regular job for another summer. Still, who cares! I get paid to go to clinical! :D
I have been waiting for this opportunity since before I started nursing school. I remember Googling like crazy to learn about what it meant to be a student nurse in this province. I found the UNE position and told myself - that's what I want to do in my 3rd year of school. And here I am!!!
This is a great day!

YAY!!! Congrats!!! That has got to be a great feeling.
Neat trick about the baby powder. I suffer from really sweaty hands too. I am going to have to try that trick.
Propanolol also works. ;) if it's related to nerves... (I only use it for driving since my MVA - semi trucks freak me out)
Congratulations on your job! .5 is better than .0!! :) It also will put you one leg up and a foot in the door....experience!
Woo hoo, way to go and rock that interview! I'll have to look up what an UNE does. :-)
Major congrats and best of luck!
