About your past
How do you run a daily huddle that people actually find useful?
What they are checking: Whether they keep huddles short and focused on safety and the day's plan instead of turning them into announcements.
Tell me about a time you had to relieve staff for breaks on a day with back-to-back cases.
What they are checking: Whether they protect staff breaks as a safety issue and plan for it rather than letting people skip meals.
Tell me about a scheduling problem you solved for a team. How did you get buy-in?
What they are checking: Whether they can manage staff schedules fairly and explain decisions so people trust the process.
What ACLS situations have you actually handled, and how did they go?
What they are checking: Whether their emergency skills have real experience behind them, which matters in a procedural area with sedation.
What would you do
An add-on case comes in from the ED and the schedule is already full. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they can fit urgent work in by talking with physicians and staff rather than letting the day fall apart.
A physician wants to start a sedation case before you're sure the patient's labs are back. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they will hold a safety line with a physician respectfully and with a clear reason.
You get called in on-call for a stroke thrombectomy at night. What do you need to have ready?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the time pressure of emergent IR cases and how to set up the team fast.
Coordinating inpatient bed placement is part of the job. How do you handle a patient who needs admission after a procedure that went badly?
What they are checking: Whether they can arrange the right level of care quickly and communicate the change clearly to everyone.
About the work
You'd act as the charge nurse for interventional radiology at Evanston. How do you assign nurses to rooms at the start of the day?
What they are checking: Whether they match nurse skills to case types like sedation, drains or embolizations to keep each room safe.
What do you watch for after a procedure like a biopsy or a line placement before a patient goes back to the floor?
What they are checking: Whether they know common IR complications like bleeding and know what a safe handoff requires.
How do you keep the department compliant with protocols like the time-out and sedation documentation?
What they are checking: Whether they treat compliance as something you check and coach on, not just something written in a policy.
