The aim of this article is to share innovative practice in relation to the recruitment process for nurses. Quality of preparation offered to student nurses prior to interview was variable, therefore, a study day to equip student nurses with the necessary knowledge and skills for interviews was devised. The strategies employed include a range of teaching approaches. Student evaluation indicates that this interview preparation day was successful and popular, with a majority of students receiving immediate offers of posts. Recommendations for educators include addressing the recruitment process earlier within the curriculum and adopting some of the practises of a business school.
