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

About your past

How is working in an ED different from working on an ambulance, and what would you have to adjust?

What they are checking: Whether they understand they now work under nurses and providers inside a larger team.

Tell me about a time you saw a patient getting worse before others noticed.

What they are checking: Whether they watch closely and speak up early to the nurse or provider.

Tell me about a hard call or shift you had and how you dealt with it after.

What they are checking: Whether they have healthy ways to handle trauma and stress over time.

What would you do

This is a Level II trauma center with five resuscitation rooms. What would you do as the tech when a major trauma comes through the doors?

What they are checking: Whether they know their role on a trauma team, like compressions, vitals, cutting clothes and running for supplies.

There are three dedicated behavioral health rooms. How would you keep yourself and a patient safe if they became aggressive?

What they are checking: Whether they use de-escalation first and know to call for help instead of acting alone.

How do you keep up when every room needs something and you're the only tech on nights?

What they are checking: Whether they can prioritize by patient risk and communicate with the charge nurse.

The department sees more than 68,000 patients a year of all ages. How do you change your approach with a scared child versus an older adult?

What they are checking: Whether they adjust communication and care for very different patients.

How do you handle a patient who wants to leave against medical advice?

What they are checking: Whether they get the nurse or provider involved and stay calm with the patient.

About the work

Walk me through how you'd perform a 12-lead EKG on a patient complaining of chest pain.

What they are checking: Whether they know correct lead placement and that a chest pain EKG has a time goal.

What skills can you do as an EMT or paramedic here, and how would you find out your scope in this ED?

What they are checking: Whether they respect hospital scope rules, which may differ from the field.

How do you do CPR well during a long code, and how do you stay ready to switch?

What they are checking: Whether they know high-quality compressions and rotating to avoid fatigue.
