What they are checking: Whether the acute care scope is real, since these roles carry genuinely unwell patients.
How do you decide a patient needs a higher level of care than where they are now?
What they are checking: Escalation judgment, which is the decision that matters most in acute work.
These roles involve call and often weekends. Tell me honestly how that fits your life.

Walk me through your first fifteen minutes with a patient who has deteriorated since the last check.
What they are checking: Whether they have a structure for an unstable patient rather than improvising.

What they are checking: Whether they can talk honestly about a bad outcome, which is what makes a colleague safe.
