Nursing clinicals are so exciting that it feels like there’s no way you would forget what happened that day. This journal is just as much for nursing students on their first day of clinicals to save and process their thoughts as it is for the nurse who has an interview in 2 days.
Everyone I help in the days
to weeks before their interview
tells me, “I know something
like that happened, but I wish
I’d written it down!”
They tell me they would give
anything to have notes from their
past selves to help them in this moment
when it really counts.
The nurses you see in my videos get very excited when I tell them I’m making you this journal and they are jealous that you have this.
They will tell you, the problem is: Their teachers told them to journal their clinical experiences, but they waited until they got a call for an interview to start. They needed to focus on Thursday’s test, the NCLEX, and the million other stressful things that demand time and attention, and it made interviewing even more stressful. You get to have interview prep built into your self care the whole journey.
If you have an interview scheduled, and you are starting to prepare now, don’t worry! You are already ahead of your competition. Most people don’t prepare very much, if at all because they don’t know how.

This journal that Mary created was so helpful for me during this round of interviews. When I am drafting my answers, I always get stuck. But this journal listed out so many questions and helpful tips on how to best answer. So much guidance is offered on case scenario questions, hospital specific questions, and thank you letters!
Thanks to her supportive material, I landed my dream job! You won't regret using this for your interview prep. I also met with Mary for 2 hours. Highly recommend.
This is a great journal! I have a difficult time keeping track of my clinical questions and keeping all these interview questions in place! But this is a cute little journal and it's fillable and editable! They also have helpful QR codes to link to the interviews which can help generate ideas as it did for me when it comes with my interview questions responses! Highly recommend this product and her YT channel for all new grad RN who are looking for guidance for interviews!
The journal was extremely comprehensive and a great brainstorming tool for interview prep. It helped me with my answers a lot and it made me feel more confident and prepared when it came to the content of my answers. I wish I knew about it sooner!
I wish I had this right as I was starting my job search. It has a lot of good examples along with questions. It really helps you formulate your answer. A 1 yr new grad who's looking for a new job again thanks you
This clinical memory journal has helped me prepare for my job interviews, and I recently received a job offer! There weren't any comprehensive resources online that I could refer to, but this journal provided just that. It effectively explains many scenarios that applicants may encounter in their interviews. More importantly, I highly recommend booking a mock interview session with Mary. You'll hone your interview skills and receive valuable constructive feedback.
This journal helped me a lot and was able to get my dream job! After preparing all of the questions in the journal, I could confidentaly answer during my interview! I highly recommend to get this journal and prepare it! Also, the Mock interview helped a lot!!! :-) Thank you Mary!
This is the most comprehensive resource I have ever found on interview prep specifically designed for new-grad nurses. Mary does a fantastic job of not only breaking down the types of questions that are typically asked, but also providing a roadmap for how to approach each question. I was able to land my dream job at a top 10 hospital in my dream unit, and this journal played an instrumental role in helping me feel prepared and confident.
