About your past

New grads are welcome here. Tell me about a clinical moment in school or a past job when you knew you needed help and asked for it.

What they are checking: Whether they know the limits of their skill and will ask rather than guess on a busy surgical floor.

Tell me about a time a family member was upset with the care their loved one was getting. What did you do?

What they are checking: Whether they have realistic habits for staying safe and sharp on long shifts in a fast-paced unit.

HSHS talks about respect, care, competence and joy. Tell me about a time you showed one of those to a patient when it was hard to do.

What would you do

You get report on five post-op patients at 7 a.m. How do you decide who to see first?

A patient is going home tomorrow and seems confused about their wound care and medications. How do you handle discharge teaching?

How do you manage pain for a patient after major abdominal surgery while watching for oversedation?
