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 caught an error or a near-miss with a chemo or IV medication before it reached the patient.

real experience with catching mistakes and willingness to speak up rather than assume someone else checked

Describe a time you had to explain a difficult treatment plan or side effect to a patient who was scared or upset.

patient communication and emotional composure in an oncology setting

Tell me about a shift where the clinic was busier than usual and you had to keep multiple patients moving through treatment safely and on time.

ability to manage pace and flow in a small, fast unit without cutting corners

Tell me about a time you worked closely with a physician or care team and disagreed with a plan of care. How did you handle it?

collaboration style and whether the candidate can advocate for a patient respectfully

With only three years of RN experience expected minimum, what from your background in ED, ICU, or similar settings do you think transfers most directly to infusion work?

self-awareness about transferable skills and gaps given the smaller unit's expectations

How do you support a patient emotionally during a long infusion visit, especially on a day when they've gotten bad news?

capacity for sustained compassionate care over hours-long visits, not just clinical tasks

Technical

Walk me through how you'd verify a chemotherapy order before accessing a patient's port and starting the infusion.

whether the candidate follows a rigorous double-check and chain-of-verification process for high-risk drugs

How do you handle central line or port access, and what do you check for before you infuse through it?

hands-on competency and safety habits with vascular access devices specific to infusion work

What's your process for managing extravasation if you notice swelling or pain during a vesicant infusion?

knowledge of a specific, high-stakes emergency protocol unique to infusion nursing

What's your experience with premedication protocols, and how do you handle a patient who wants to skip or delay them?

knowledge of standard practice paired with skill in patient negotiation without compromising safety

Situational

A patient in one of your five chairs starts showing signs of an infusion reaction while you're mid-push on another patient's medication. What do you do?

ability to triage and prioritize safely when short-staffed with limited chairs and no immediate backup

You don't have chemo certification yet on day one, but you're expected to get it within 30 days. How would you use your first month to make sure you're ready?

self-direction and realistic planning around a hard credentialing deadline

How do you decide when to escalate a patient's symptoms to the oncologist versus managing it yourself as the RN?

clinical judgment and comfort with scope of practice boundaries
