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
Walk me through a shift on a med/surg unit where you were managing several patients at once and one of them suddenly took a turn for the worse. How did you prioritize?
whether the candidate can triage competing demands under real time pressure, not just describe ideal protocol
Tell me about a time you had to delegate a task to a nurse aide or LPN and it didn't go the way you expected. What happened and what did you do?
understanding of appropriate scope of delegation and how they handle follow-through problems
Tell me about a time you caught a medication error before it reached the patient, or a near miss you were involved in.
honesty and habits around a culture of safety, and whether they self-report
Describe a situation where you disagreed with a physician or another team member about a patient's care. How did you raise it and what was the outcome?
conflict resolution skill and whether they advocate for patients appropriately within the team
Tell me about a time you got involved in a unit council, quality initiative, or process improvement project. What was your role?
genuine engagement with shared governance versus just checking a box
How do you stay current with your certifications and continuing education, and can you tell me about something you learned recently that changed how you practice?
commitment to ongoing professional development beyond minimum requirements
Technical
What's your process for assessing a new patient and building out their initial care plan?
whether they actually apply the nursing process (assess, diagnose, plan, implement, evaluate) rather than just naming it
How do you adjust your assessment and communication approach between, say, a 25-year-old post-op patient and an 80-year-old with multiple comorbidities?
competence with age-specific care across the lifespan, which the posting calls out explicitly
What's your approach to charting in the EHR during a busy shift so it stays accurate and doesn't fall behind?
discipline around timely documentation despite workload
Situational
Say you're covering multiple med/surg patients on a PM shift and you get pulled to float to another unit mid-shift. How do you handle handing off your current patients safely?
grasp of safe handoff practice and comfort with the floating requirement named in the posting
A patient's family member is upset about the plan of care and starts raising their voice at the nurses' station. What do you do in that moment?
de-escalation skill and composure with families, relevant to the unit's fast pace
If you noticed a patient was becoming agitated and potentially unsafe, what's your process before things escalate to needing restraint or a safety intervention?
judgment and de-escalation sequencing before physical intervention, given the physical safety requirements listed
Working every third weekend and every other holiday is part of this schedule. How do you think about staying consistent and engaged on a rotation like that?
realistic expectations and reliability around the specific schedule commitment
