How do you approach a difficult conversation with parents about a poor prognosis for their infant?

Tell me about a time you had to deliver bad news or push back on a plan during a family meeting that got emotional.

composure and communication skill in high-stress family interactions

Technical

Walk me through how you'd assess a newborn who suddenly desaturates and becomes bradycardic on the unit.

whether the candidate has a clear, ordered clinical framework for acute neonatal decompensation rather than a scattered response

What's your process for performing a neonatal intubation or line placement, and how do you decide when to call for backup instead of proceeding solo?

technical competence paired with honest judgment about the limits of their own skill

How do you stay current on evidence-based practice in neonatology, and can you give an example of something you changed in your practice because of new research?

genuine engagement with ongoing learning versus a stock answer about reading journals

What does developmentally appropriate care look like for a 26-week preemie versus a term infant, and how does that change your day-to-day approach?

Situational

You're 20 hours into a 24-hour shift and you get a new admission that looks unstable. How do you manage your own fatigue while still giving that baby full attention?

self-awareness about fatigue risk and whether they have real strategies rather than bravado

Two infants in your care both need immediate attention at the same time. How do you decide what to do first?

triage instinct and ability to prioritize under pressure

How would you explain a complicated diagnosis, like necrotizing enterocolitis, to a family with no medical background?

ability to translate complex medicine into plain, reassuring language

This role runs 24-hour shifts on a 10-week block schedule at 0.6 FTE. How have you handled long-shift or irregular schedules in the past, and what do you do to make sure your judgment stays sharp late into a shift?

realistic fit with the specific shift structure rather than a generic willingness to work hard
