About your past

Tell me about a time you worked with a multidisciplinary team to solve a problem for a patient.

What they are checking: Whether they collaborate actively with pharmacy, therapy, social work and nutrition rather than working in a silo.

Tell me about a night shift where things got overwhelming. How did you keep your patients safe?

What they are checking: Whether they prioritize well, ask for help and keep a clear head under pressure.

What would you do

A post-transplant patient tells you they plan to skip medications at home because of cost. What do you do?

A patient with a history of alcohol use who had a liver transplant feels judged by staff. How do you respond?

What they are checking: Whether they provide nonjudgmental care and address stigma among colleagues when it shows up.

About the work

Your post-kidney transplant patient's urine output has dropped sharply over four hours. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they treat falling output as a possible graft or vascular problem and escalate quickly.

What do you watch for in a patient on tacrolimus, and why does timing of the trough level matter?

What they are checking: Whether they understand immunosuppressant toxicity, interactions and how mistimed levels lead to wrong dose changes.

A patient with ETOH cirrhosis becomes confused and is picking at the air at 2 a.m. Walk me through your thinking.

What they are checking: Whether they consider hepatic encephalopathy, alcohol withdrawal and other causes and act on each appropriately.

This 32-bed unit sees liver, kidney, pancreas and lung transplant patients. How do you keep straight the different priorities for each?

What they are checking: Whether they can organize care across very different post-transplant populations without mixing up the key risks.

How do you protect an immunosuppressed patient from infection during a busy night shift?

What they are checking: Whether they consistently follow hand hygiene, line care and visitor guidance even when the unit is short on time.

What would you teach a cystic fibrosis patient preparing to go home after a lung transplant?

What they are checking: Whether they can cover spirometry monitoring, infection signs, medications and follow-up in a way patients will follow.
