Behavioral

Tell me about a time a patient had a reaction during an infusion. What did you notice first and what did you do?

recognition of early symptoms and calm, correct escalation under pressure

Tell me about a patient who was scared or overwhelmed about starting treatment. How did you handle that conversation?

ability to provide emotional support and patient education, which the posting emphasizes heavily

Describe a time you had to coordinate care with other members of a treatment team, like an oncologist, pharmacist, or social worker, for one patient.

Tell me about a time you had to give a patient hard news or correct their expectations about their treatment plan or side effects.

honesty and compassion in patient communication, which is central to oncology nursing

What does patient safety culture look like to you day to day, not just in a policy binder?

whether safety is a lived habit versus a checkbox, relevant to Magnet-designated nursing standards

Technical

Walk me through how you'd access and administer a vesicant chemotherapy agent through a port-a-cath, from the moment the patient sits down to the moment the infusion starts.

whether the candidate knows safe access, verification, and administration steps for high-risk oncology drugs

What do you check before you hang a chemo drug, even if the order came from the oncologist and pharmacy already verified it?

understanding of independent double-checks and personal accountability in high-risk medication administration

What's your process for extravasation if you notice swelling or the patient reports burning during a vesicant infusion?

knowledge of extravasation protocol, a critical infusion-specific competency

Have you worked toward or held a chemotherapy/immunotherapy certification before? Walk me through what that process looked like for you.

readiness to meet the 30-day certification requirement and familiarity with the credentialing process

How do you keep track of infusion timing, lab draws, and premedication schedules when you have multiple patients running at once?

organizational systems for managing simultaneous infusions safely

Situational

Say you have a full bay of 18 patients and a new admit shows up with a port that won't flush. How do you prioritize your time across the floor?

triage judgment and ability to manage a fast-paced infusion center without dropping other patients

If a patient tells you they've been having severe nausea and diarrhea at home since their last cycle but didn't call anyone, what do you do in that visit?

proactive symptom management and whether they'd loop in the care team rather than just document it

If you're new to infusion nursing, what part of this transition worries you most, and how would you close that gap in your first few months?

self-awareness and a realistic plan for ramping up, since infusion experience is only preferred not required
