How do you approach infection control and protecting yourself when you're regularly exposed to blood, body fluids, or hazardous waste?

understanding of standard precautions and personal responsibility for safety protocols

What does evidence-based practice mean to you in day-to-day nursing, and can you give an example of applying it here?

whether the candidate can translate the posting's language about evidence-based practice into a concrete clinical example rather than a buzzword

Situational

Walk me through a typical day in a dermatology clinic. What does patient flow look like when you have procedures like Mohs surgery scheduled alongside regular visits?

whether the candidate understands clinic-based ambulatory nursing pace versus inpatient and can manage mixed procedure and appointment schedules

A patient comes in anxious before a Mohs surgery and starts asking a lot of questions you're not sure you should answer. How do you handle that conversation?

communication skill, patient education boundaries, and knowing when to loop in the physician

How would you handle a patient having an allergic or unexpected reaction during a procedure in clinic, where you don't have the same rapid-response resources as a hospital floor?

emergency preparedness and clinical judgment in a lower-resource ambulatory setting

This role splits time between two locations during the week. How do you stay organized and keep continuity of care when you're not always in the same building?
