Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Tell me about a time you had to manage a chaotic or fast-paced clinic day with multiple patients needing dressing changes, debridement, or chamber sessions.

ability to prioritize and stay organized in a high-volume outpatient/inpatient hybrid setting

This department treats patients from pediatric to geriatric. Tell me about a time you had to adjust your approach or communication style for a very young or very old patient.

flexibility and patient-centered communication across a wide age range

Describe a situation where you disagreed with a physician or hyperbaric technician about a patient's plan of care. How did you handle it?

comfort advocating for patients within an interdisciplinary team without creating conflict

You're required to complete wound certification within a year and hyperbaric certification within two years. How do you approach learning a new clinical specialty on top of a full patient load?

self-directed learning capacity and realistic time management given the certification timeline built into the job

This role involves physical tasks like sliding transfers, lifting up to 50 pounds, and standing through debridement procedures. How have you managed the physical demands of bedside or procedural nursing in the past?

realistic self-assessment of physical stamina and safe body mechanics awareness

Technical

Walk me through how you would assess and stage a wound on a new patient coming in for the first time.

whether the candidate has a systematic, evidence-based wound assessment process rather than just familiarity with terminology

Tell me about your experience, if any, with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, including chamber safety checks and monitoring a patient during a dive.

actual hands-on exposure to HBOT versus theoretical knowledge, since certification can be earned after hire

How do you decide between a wound vac, multilayer wrap, or standard dressing for a given wound?

clinical judgment and understanding of when different modalities are appropriate versus rote procedure knowledge

What is your understanding of transcutaneous oxygen monitoring, and how would you use those readings to guide a treatment plan?

depth of clinical knowledge specific to this specialty versus general wound care background

Situational

A patient in the chamber reports ear pain and pressure during descent. What do you do?

knowledge of barotrauma risk and whether the nurse will stop the treatment and act rather than push through

A patient scheduled for hyperbaric treatment tells you they just started a new medication you're not sure is compatible with HBOT. What do you do before proceeding?

awareness of contraindications and willingness to pause treatment and verify rather than assume safety

Tell me about a time a patient's wound wasn't healing as expected. How did you escalate or change the approach?

clinical problem-solving and knowing when to loop in the physician versus adjusting independently

How would you explain a wound vac or hyperbaric treatment plan to a patient or family member who is anxious or skeptical about it?

patient education skills and ability to build trust around unfamiliar or intimidating treatments
