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

Behavioral

Tell me about a time you had to make a critical decision without being able to reach the physician or administrator on call right away.

comfort with autonomous decision-making and knowing when to escalate versus act

Describe a situation where you had to step in and support a new or struggling nurse in the middle of a shift.

mentoring instinct and how they balance teaching with getting the work done

Tell me about a time you disagreed with a decision from hospital leadership but had to carry it out anyway with your staff.

loyalty to the organization balanced with credibility in front of frontline staff

Describe a time you had to deliver difficult feedback to a charge nurse or staff member in the moment, during a shift, not after the fact.

willingness to address performance issues in real time rather than avoiding conflict

Technical

What's your process for house-wide bed management when the hospital is near capacity and the ED is backing up?

working knowledge of patient flow, throughput logistics, and resource allocation across a full hospital

Walk me through how you'd respond if you got word of a serious safety event, like a medication error or a fall with injury, during your shift.

knowledge of incident reporting protocols and immediate clinical response steps

What does your BLS, ACLS, and PALS background actually look like in practice, and when was the last time you used those skills in a real emergency?

What's your experience coordinating across multidisciplinary teams, like respiratory, lab, or pharmacy, when a patient's condition is changing fast?

cross-department communication skills essential to the liaison function of the role

Situational

Walk me through a night shift where you had to move staff around because one unit got hit hard while another was quiet. How did you decide what to do?

whether the candidate can make fast, defensible staffing calls using acuity and resources rather than just gut feel

It's 2am and you get called to the ED because a nurse and a family member are in a heated disagreement over a patient's care plan. What do you do when you walk in?

de-escalation skill and ability to represent both staff and patient interests under pressure

How would you handle a rapid response or code situation happening on one floor while you're also being paged about a bed crisis on another?

prioritization and multitasking across competing emergencies as the only house-wide leader on shift

How do you approach staffing a limited-weekend, holiday-rotation schedule fairly across a nursing team that's already stretched thin?

fairness and practical judgment in scheduling decisions that affect morale

If you noticed a pattern of near-misses on a particular unit over several nights, what would you do with that information?

whether they think systemically about safety trends, not just shift-by-shift firefighting
