Rationale 1: As the interview is in the morning, there is insufficient time to reschedule.
Rationale 2: Arriving to work early will allow the manager to review the résumé and focus on the questions to ask the candidate. Arriving at the usual time may result in an inadequate interview.
Rationale 3: Arriving at the usual time may result in an inadequate interview.
Rationale 4: A human resources representative will not be able to assess the candidate as well as the nurse manager. The interview will likely not be useful and may have to be repeated, which is a waste of everyone's time.
