About your past

What they are checking: Whether they trust their assessment and act early, which prevents rescues from turning into codes.
How do you treat a patient who is embarrassed about their weight or a urologic problem with dignity?

Tell me about a time you had to work nights for a long stretch. How did you stay sharp and healthy?
What they are checking: Whether they can sustain full-time 12-hour nights without it hurting their judgment.
What would you do
It's 2 a.m., and a post-op patient's pain isn't controlled on the ordered regimen. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they reassess, try non-drug measures and call the provider with clear information rather than waiting until morning.
You have a planned admission, a confused patient trying to climb out of bed and a call light from a patient in pain all at once. What's your order?
What they are checking: Whether they put immediate safety first and delegate sensibly to keep everyone covered.
About the work
Your patient is back from a TURP with continuous bladder irrigation, and the drainage turns bright red with clots. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they know to adjust irrigation, check for obstruction, watch for bladder spasm and notify urology promptly.
A post-op bariatric patient on night one has a heart rate of 120 and says they feel anxious and can't get comfortable. What are you worried about?
What they are checking: Whether they recognize tachycardia as a possible early sign of anastomotic leak and escalate instead of treating anxiety.

What they are checking: Whether they can catch and respond to arrhythmias without a dedicated cardiac unit around them.
How do you mobilize and position a patient with obesity safely after surgery without hurting yourself or them?
What they are checking: Whether they use lift equipment and team help, which protects both patient and staff on a bariatric unit.
What do you teach a patient going home after bariatric surgery about eating and hydration?
What they are checking: Whether they know small sips, protein priorities and dehydration warning signs, which drive early readmissions.
