Welcome to another episode of Graduate Nurse Series Success, where I share insights and strategies to help you ace your graduate nursing interviews. In this live session on Instagram, I've answered some questions from my followers.

Receiving an interview offer is a reason to celebrate because it means you've already made a positive impression with your application. Remember, nursing panels don't invite just anyone, so when you get that notification, remind yourself that you're already 70% of the way there.

If you're seeking comprehensive guidance and support throughout your graduate nursing journey, I highly recommend joining the Graduate Career Launch Program. We offer expert assistance in note preparation, example tailoring, and interview strategies to significantly increase your chances of success.

To learn more about the specific questions asked by my followers in this live session, I invite you to listen to the full episode. It's packed with valuable information that will further enhance your interview preparation.
