Likely interview questions for this role

About your past
The CHT certification is required within 18 months of hire. What's your plan to get it?
What they are checking: Whether they are serious about earning the certification and have thought about how to prepare.
Dialysis patients often come three times a week for years. How would you build trust with someone you see that often?
What they are checking: Whether they can form steady, caring relationships with long-term patients.
There are no fixed schedules here. How do you handle a schedule that changes every few weeks, including 12-hour shifts and every third Saturday?
What they are checking: Whether they can handle a flexible, unit-specific schedule without it causing problems at work.
Tell me about the patient care experience you have so far. What did you learn from it?
What they are checking: Whether their six months or more of patient care gave them real skills they can bring to dialysis.
What would you do
A patient is frustrated and wants to end treatment early. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they can listen, explain risks calmly, and involve the nurse rather than just agree or argue.
About the work
Walk me through how you'd prepare a dialysis machine and start a treatment for a patient.
What they are checking: Whether they understand the steps and safety checks that keep a dialysis patient safe from start to finish.
What do you watch for during a dialysis treatment, and what would make you stop and get the nurse?
What they are checking: Whether they can spot warning signs like low blood pressure, cramping or access problems and act right away.
How do you check a patient's fistula or graft before cannulation?
What they are checking: Whether they know how to assess vascular access, which is the patient's lifeline for treatment.
How do you keep infection control tight in a unit where many patients share the space?
What they are checking: Whether they follow strict cleaning and hand hygiene, since dialysis patients are at high risk for infection.
If you're applying as an LPN, how do you see your role differently from a CHT on the same unit?
What they are checking: Whether they understand scope of practice differences between an LPN and a technician.
