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 night shift where you had six or more patients on the med surg floor and had to decide who to see first. How did you prioritize?

whether the candidate can triage a realistic patient load on a busy general med surg unit rather than just describing ideal-case care

Tell me about a time you caught a mistake, either yours or someone else's, before it reached the patient.

honesty about error and commitment to a safety culture rather than covering things up

Describe a time you had to work closely with CNAs and LPNs to get through a tough shift. What did that division of labor look like?

understanding of team-based care model and respect for scope of practice across roles

Tell me about a shift that didn't go well. What happened and what would you do differently now?

self-reflection and growth mindset rather than defensiveness

Technical

Walk me through how you'd manage a patient with multiple chronic conditions, say diabetes, heart failure, and a wound infection, all at once. What are you watching for and what could go wrong?

depth of clinical reasoning across overlapping disease states, which is the core of this unit's patient population

How do you approach handoff communication at shift change, especially at 7am when the day team is coming in?

structured communication skills like SBAR and whether the candidate treats handoff as a safety checkpoint, not a formality

What's your process for medication administration on a unit where patients often have five or more scheduled meds plus PRNs?

rigor around med safety checks and awareness of interaction risks in a chronically ill population

How do you stay current on evidence-based practice changes, and can you give an example of applying a new guideline or protocol on the floor?

whether the candidate actively engages with evidence-based practice as stated in the job description, versus just doing things the old way

Situational

You're on a 7pm to 7:30am shift and around 3am a patient's condition starts to change but it's subtle, nothing dramatic yet. What do you do?

clinical judgment and escalation habits during low-staffed overnight hours when support is thinner

A family member on the unit is upset and raising their voice at the nurses station because they feel their loved one isn't getting enough attention. How do you handle that in the moment?

composure and communication skills for de-escalating stressed families without abandoning other patients

You're scheduled every fourth weekend and every other holiday. How do you think about sustaining yourself, physically and mentally, on that kind of schedule long term?

realistic expectations and self-care planning for shift work, since burnout and turnover are real risks on this schedule

Describe a situation where you disagreed with a physician's order or plan of care. What did you do?

advocacy skills and whether the candidate can raise concerns through proper channels without being passive or combative
