About your past

Tell me about a time you supported someone through a hard moment, at work or elsewhere.

What they are checking: Whether they bring patience and empathy, which care plans cannot teach.

Floating means changing locations often. How do you stay reliable and flexible at the same time?

What they are checking: Whether they can handle unpredictable assignments across Appleton, Fort Atkinson, Green Bay or Manitowoc without letting reliability slip.

What would you do

As a float, you'll move between homes and clients. How do you get up to speed on a client you've never met before your shift starts?

What they are checking: Whether they read ISPs and care plans first instead of improvising with someone they don't know.

A client's Behavior Service Plan says to step back during aggression, but your instinct is to step in. What do you do?

About the work

Walk me through how you give medications safely, and what you do if you make an error.

What they are checking: Whether they follow medication administration policy and report errors right away rather than hiding them.

How would you coach a client to build a skill like budgeting or cooking instead of doing it for them?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the coaching and independence goals that run through the ISP areas.

What do you know about resident rights, and how do they affect your daily work?

What they are checking: Whether they respect client dignity and choice, which is protected by policy and regulation.
