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
Tell me about your IR experience. What procedures have you supported most often?
What they are checking: Whether they truly have the year of IR experience the role requires and which cases they know well.
Tell me about a time you spoke up during a time out or procedure because something seemed wrong.
What they are checking: Whether they will stop a procedure for safety even when physicians are moving fast.
The sign-on bonus comes with a two-year commitment. What makes you confident this is a place you'll stay?
What they are checking: Whether they have thought through the commitment and are joining for the work, not just the bonus.
What would you do
Halfway through a procedure, the patient develops hives and their pressure drops after contrast. What do you do?
What they are checking: Fast recognition and response to a contrast reaction, which the posting names directly.
You're on call and get paged at 2 a.m. for an emergent embolization. You must be in Evanston within 30 minutes. How do you make that reliable?
What they are checking: Whether the on-call requirement is realistic for them, since late arrivals delay life-saving cases.
The schedule falls apart because two add-on cases came in and an inpatient isn't ready. How do you help keep the lab moving?
What they are checking: Ability to coordinate patient flow with technologists and floors, which the posting lists as part of the job.
About the work
Walk me through how you monitor a patient under moderate sedation during a procedure.
What they are checking: Command of airway, capnography and vital sign monitoring, since sedation is a core IR nursing risk.
How do you screen a patient before a procedure, and what findings would make you stop and call the radiologist?
What they are checking: Pre-procedure safety checks like kidney function, anticoagulants, allergies and NPO status.
How do you manage and dress a central line, and what do you look for after a line placement in IR?
What they are checking: Line care skill and awareness of complications like bleeding or pneumothorax after placement.
How do you teach a patient going home after a biopsy or drain placement?
What they are checking: Clear, practical discharge teaching that prevents complications and return visits.
How do you keep Epic documentation accurate during a case when your hands are busy?
What they are checking: Whether they have a method for timely sedation and procedure documentation that holds up to review.
