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 worked with someone with a different background, like a paramedic. How did you share the work?
What they are checking: Whether they respect and share work with paramedics and EMTs, because transport crews depend on each profession's strengths to keep patients safe.
What ICU experience do you bring, and what situations have prepared you to work with less backup?
What they are checking: Whether they meet the one-year ICU requirement and can work more independently.
What would you do
This team works with critical care paramedics and EMTs in a mobile environment. How is caring for a patient in an ambulance different from the ICU?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the limits of space, equipment and backup in an ambulance, because transport nursing means handling crises with far less help.
Your patient becomes hypotensive halfway through a long rural transport. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they can make independent decisions within protocols and medical direction, because on a rural transport there is no one at the bedside to ask.
How do you keep yourself safe in a moving vehicle while caring for a patient?
What they are checking: Whether they think about their own safety in a moving vehicle, because an injured transport nurse cannot care for anyone during the trip.
How do you handle long, unpredictable shifts and difficult weather?
What they are checking: Whether they can stay sharp and flexible through long, unpredictable shifts and weather, because transport schedules rarely go as planned.
About the work
Walk me through how you'd prepare a ventilated patient on two drips for an interfacility transfer.
What they are checking: Whether they plan thoroughly before leaving, securing lines, drips and airway, because there is little room to fix problems once the vehicle is moving.
How do you work with protocols and online medical control during transport?
What they are checking: Understanding of written orders and when to call a medical provider.
You'll care for patients of all ages. How do you prepare for a pediatric transport?
What they are checking: Readiness for pediatric patients, which many adult ICU nurses lack.
How do you give a good handoff to the receiving team?
What they are checking: Whether they give clear, complete handoffs at arrival, because the receiving team relies on that report to continue care without gaps.
