Hi usmleed,

I heard it is better to take a leather porfolio and no handbags or purses.U can get good ones in Office Depot for 30 to 40 bucks.See that there is place for ur credit cards ,cell phone and stuff.Hope this helps u

BBB may shed some light on this.


  #4

grin I had a response typed, but deleted it because I didn't want to be a smart ass.

I wouldn't notice if a candidate carried a handbag or backpack.

confused I've never heard of raxine - is it nice? Do I need to look into int? Can I afford it? After all, I work...................................













.................here!nod

Different hospitals will have different things set up. I have a locker room that candidates can leave their bags in. I remember my first interview season (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when), my co-worker scared me with stories of applicants moving into the department.

Then I learned that they had to bring their bags because they checked out of the hospital.wink
