Tell me about a time you scrubbed in for an emergency procedure with almost no warning. What did you do first?
how the person performs under real time pressure and whether they can prioritize actions in a crisis
Describe a time a new tech or nurse looked to you for help with equipment or a procedure. How did you handle teaching them in the moment?
comfort acting as an informal resource and mentor, which the job explicitly requires
Tell me about a moment when a physician's preference for how a delivery area was set up differed from what you expected. How did you adjust?

Describe a time you had to multitask through frequent interruptions during a shift. How did you keep track of everything?
whether the candidate can genuinely manage the constant task-switching this unit demands
This role involves a lot of physical demands, lifting, transfers, long twelve-hour shifts on your feet. Tell me about a time your body was pushed hard at work and how you got through it.
realistic self-awareness about physical stamina and honesty about the job's demands
Technical
Walk me through how you'd set up your sterile field and instrument tray for a scheduled cesarean section.
whether the candidate actually knows OB surgical setups and can speak concretely, not just recite the job posting language

What do you know about the differences in setup between a vacuum extraction and a forceps delivery?
specific procedural knowledge relevant to the exact duties listed in the posting

ability to shift gears quickly during an obstetric emergency without freezing or losing track of sterile technique
You notice the surgical supply cart is missing an instrument right before a case starts. What do you do?
problem-solving and composure when a gap in preparation threatens to delay or disrupt a procedure
How would you explain what's happening to a patient's family member during a fast-moving delivery, when you have thirty seconds to talk to them?
communication skills with anxious family members under time constraints
If you saw a coworker breaking sterile technique during a procedure, what would you do right then?
willingness to speak up for patient safety even when it might create friction with a peer
