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 a time you cared for a pediatric patient and their scared parent at the same time.

What they are checking: Whether they can handle all age groups and manage the family's fear without slowing down care.

Describe a shift where the department was overwhelmed. What did you do to help the team?

What they are checking: Whether they step up and pitch in during surge volume rather than protecting their own assignment.

Tell me about a time a coworker did something you thought was unsafe.

What they are checking: Whether they will speak up about safety to a peer, which is part of the Safety and Integrity standards.

What draws you to emergency nursing over a clinic or floor job?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the pace and unpredictability of the ED and have a real reason for choosing it.

What would you do

In the ED you work alongside an RN with a shared group of patients. How do you divide the work and keep each other informed?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the LPN role in a team model and communicate changes before the RN has to ask.

A patient you just took vitals on has a heart rate of 130 and looks pale. What do you do in the next two minutes?

What they are checking: Recognizing deterioration and escalating to the RN fast instead of finishing the task list first.

How do you handle a patient who is intoxicated and refusing to stay on the stretcher?

What they are checking: Keeping a difficult patient and the staff safe while staying calm and calling for help early.

About the work

What is within your scope as an LPN in the emergency department, and what is not?

What they are checking: Whether they know Illinois LPN scope limits well enough to avoid taking on RN-only tasks under pressure.

Walk me through how you would check and give an IM medication the RN has asked you to give.

What they are checking: Safe medication practice, including patient identifiers, allergy checks and documenting right after giving it.

This job means standing and walking for long stretches and lifting up to 50 pounds. How do you protect yourself and your patients during transfers?

What they are checking: Whether they use safe patient handling and ask for help, since injuries take nurses out of the ED.
