Hey, 
Congratulations for getting interviews for Child Nursing.
It is normal to be nervous for any interview however, the interviewer wants to know why you want to become a child nurse and they want to see how passionate you are.

Heyyy congratulations on your interviews. To prepare for child nursing interviews I would say:
•
know why want to be a nurse. Why did you choose to do nursing especially with children??
•
Know what a children nurse does and what qualities they should hold. E.g staying organised and having good teamwork skills etc
•
Make sure you know some ethical issues/ considerations in nursing e.g respecting people’s rights and their privacy etc
•
Also know the 6cs and the NMC code thingy
•
Research some current healthcare topics e.g staff shortages or perhaps Covid
•
Finally ask at least 2 questions at the end of the interview.
[start]Be prepared for scenario questions. Those questions can be about the stuff I mentioned above.[/start]
[start]Honestly you will do great, don’t worry too much. The interviewers are not trying to trick you or catch you out.[/start]
[start]They want to make sure that you understand that nursing is a demanding job physically, mentally and emotionally. Show that you know how to deal with stress and that you can control yourself in unpleasant circumstances.[/start]
[start]Soo I hope was helpful and wish you best on your interviews and the ones upcoming!!😄👍[/start]
