Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about running a shift as coordinator. What is the hardest part?

What they are checking: Whether they have held the role rather than covered it once.

The posting describes a staff focused leadership model. What does that mean to you in practice?

What they are checking: The posting uses that phrase, so it is worth asking what they make of it.

Tell me about a time you had to correct a nurse during a shift.

What they are checking: Whether they will act in the moment, in front of the team, when it matters.

This is a weekend programme on full time nights. How does that fit your life?

What they are checking: Honest fit with an unusual arrangement the posting names.

What would you do

A patient is crashing and another nurse needs you at the same time. How do you decide?

What they are checking: Prioritization across a whole unit rather than an assignment.

How do you support a nurse after a death or a difficult code?

What they are checking: Whether they look after their team, which decides whether people stay in an ICU.

How do you get help at night at the weekend when weekday resources are not there?

What they are checking: The defining constraint of running nights at a community hospital.

About the work

Tell me about your intensive care experience and the sickest patients you have carried.

What they are checking: The posting asks for at least two years in the pertinent specialty, and ICU is not transferable.

How do you build an ICU assignment when your staff have very different experience levels?

What they are checking: Matching acuity to skill, which in an ICU is the difference between a safe night and not.

Tell me about your BSN and any further study.

What they are checking: The posting requires a BSN and prefers an MSN, so it is confirmed plainly.
