Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a time you caught an error in an order before giving a medication.
What they are checking: Whether they verify doses and orders on their own rather than trusting that the pharmacy or provider got it right.
Our infusion patients come back again and again. How do you build a relationship with someone you see every two weeks?
What they are checking: Whether they can offer steady, personal care that keeps long-term patients engaged in treatment.
This is a 20-hour position. How do you stay current and connected with the team when you are part time?
What they are checking: Whether they will keep up with protocol changes and communication even with fewer hours on site.
What would you do
Fifteen minutes into an infusion, your patient says their chest feels tight and their face is flushed. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they stop the drug, assess and follow the reaction protocol right away without waiting to see.
A patient arrives and their lab values are outside the treatment parameters. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they know to hold the treatment and contact the provider rather than proceed because the chair is booked.
You have several chairs running and two pumps alarm at the same time while a new patient checks in. How do you prioritize?
What they are checking: Whether they can triage quickly in a busy clinic and still keep safety first.
About the work
The role requires an ONS chemo provider card. Where are you in that process, and what do you know about safe chemotherapy handling?

Walk me through starting an infusion visit for a patient getting a biologic for the first time.
What they are checking: Whether they check orders, labs, premeds and consent and know first doses carry a higher reaction risk.
How do you access and care for an implanted port, and what makes you stop and call for help?
What they are checking: Whether they have real central line skills and recognize signs like no blood return or swelling.
What do you teach a patient about side effects and when to call after they go home from an infusion?
What they are checking: Whether they give clear, specific warning signs so problems are caught early outside the clinic.
