Hi Ree123,
Here is what i had to do twice.
* Do research into what EENs do, always remember that they are under RNs etc and are responsible for their own actions.
* Be OH& S mindful, think safety to yourself and others.
* Find out about the EEN course and what your responsibilities are as a student/contractor.
The last interview was fairly simple, I had arrived at the hospital a few minutes ahead of the inetrview, two ladies checked my paperwork and documents, then asked me to wait outside the office, then I had my 2 on 1 interview, the people seemed pretty relaxed and casual. They told me what to expect of the interview and gave me example questions. The questions required behavioural answers i.e. tell us about the time when you had excelled in customer service...etc. as opposed to tell us what would you do etc.
I think I had 5 questions, some were straight fwd like, why would you want to be an EEN?
Then others had to do with safety and problem solving etc. Main thing is to be prepared, anddo your research.
Of course before you even get to the interview stage you must apply for the course through your area health services, and also go through maths and literacy exams.
Be yourself, and dress corporate. i hope it helps.
Mark.
