About your past

Tell me about your last 18 months in PICU. What kinds of patients did you care for?

What they are checking: Whether they meet the recent PICU experience the posting requires.

Tell me about a time you disagreed with the plan for a critically ill child.

What they are checking: Whether they speak up for a critically ill child while staying respectful and using the chain of command appropriately.

Nights are full time on this unit. How do you stay sharp late in the shift?

What they are checking: Whether they recognize their own fatigue and have habits to stay safe, since night shift errors in a PICU can harm children.

What brings you to this PICU?

What would you do

What do you do to keep a sick child's family informed during a long night?

How do you delegate on a night shift in the PICU?

About the work

An intubated child suddenly desaturates on nights. Walk me through your response.

A post-op cardiac or neuro child has subtle changes in mental status overnight. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they notice subtle neurological changes in a child and escalate early, since kids can compensate until they suddenly decline.

How do you recognize septic shock in a child before blood pressure drops?

What they are checking: Knowledge of early pediatric shock signs like cap refill and tachycardia.

How do you prevent central line infections in children?

What they are checking: Whether they consistently follow central line prevention bundles, because a line infection in a PICU patient can be life threatening.
