3 out of 10

What are your general comments?
It was a great experience overall considering everything, and it was my first interview experience, so I was really nervous the night before. Although I don't know if I did well or not, the interviewer was very nice and professional. The biggest piece of advice I can give is prepare as early as possible--keep up to date with news, ethics, insurance and policies etc. and then forget it all the night before and relax. I wish that I had trusted the fact that I knew my stuff, especially since it turned out that I didn't need to know anything about medical issues.
