Tell me about a time you had to assist a provider during a procedure you hadn't done many times before.
comfort level with procedural support and honesty about scope of practice
This role runs on an eight-hour schedule with back-to-back patients all day, no call, no weekends. How do you stay organized when the day is fully booked and something runs long?

Describe a situation where a patient or family member became upset or combative. How did you handle it?

awareness of body mechanics and safety protocols given the lifting and transfer demands listed
What draws you to urology specifically, and what do you already know about the kinds of patients and procedures common in this specialty?
genuine interest in the specialty versus taking any available LPN opening
Technical
Walk me through how you would room a patient coming in for a urology procedure, from the moment they check in to when the provider walks in.
whether the candidate has a real, organized workflow for ambulatory rooming rather than a vague sense of the steps
What experience do you have with specimen collection and point-of-care testing, and can you give an example of a urine or lab test you've run yourself?
hands-on familiarity with the specific lab tasks this clinic needs, not just general lab exposure
How do you make sure medications and vaccines are administered correctly and documented right away in the electronic health record?
rigor around medication safety and EHR documentation habits, since errors here are high-risk
How do you keep a patient's history and health information accurate and confidential while working closely with a team of providers and nurses?
attention to documentation accuracy and HIPAA awareness in a team-based clinic
Situational
A patient tells you they're in pain and anxious right before a catheter placement or cystoscopy. What do you do?
ability to combine patient comfort and de-escalation with clinical readiness
Tell me about a time a patient's vitals or symptoms during intake didn't match what was expected. What did you do next?
clinical judgment and escalation instincts in a fast-paced clinic setting
If a physician asks you to do something that falls outside what you believe is within your LPN scope of practice, what do you do?
