Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

This 34-bed unit at Condell cares for patients with kidney disease and a range of medical diagnoses. What experience do you have with renal patients?

What they are checking: Whether they have real exposure to kidney patients or understand what they will need to learn.

Tell me about a time you worked with a nursing assistant to get through a busy shift.

What they are checking: Whether they delegate well and respect the assistants who are a big part of this unit's team.

Condell is a Magnet hospital. What does that mean to you as a bedside nurse?

What they are checking: Whether they understand nurses here are expected to take part in quality and decision making, not only tasks.

Tell me about a time you had to deliver hard news or have a hard conversation with a patient or family.

What they are checking: Whether they can stay honest and kind, since many renal patients face serious long-term choices.

What would you do

Your patient with kidney disease keeps drinking more fluid than their restriction allows. How do you handle it?

What they are checking: Whether they educate with patience and look for the reason instead of just scolding the patient.

This is a night shift, 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. How do you decide when to call a provider at 3 a.m.?

What they are checking: Whether they will not delay a needed call at night but come prepared with clear information when they do.

About the work

A dialysis patient comes back to the floor after a session and is dizzy with low blood pressure. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they know common post-dialysis problems like fluid shifts and can respond safely.

How do you care for and protect a patient's dialysis fistula or graft?

What they are checking: Whether they know the basics: no blood pressure or blood draws on that arm, and checking for a thrill and bruit.

A patient's potassium comes back at 6.4 overnight. What are your next steps?

What they are checking: Whether they recognize a dangerous potassium level, get the patient on a monitor and call the provider right away.

What medications do you watch especially closely in patients with poor kidney function?

What they are checking: Whether they know many drugs need dose changes or avoidance when the kidneys cannot clear them.
