What they ask registered nurse medical surgical unit candidates here
Drawn from the 3 open postings on this page. The ones that come up across several employers are near the top.
You get report on five med/surg patients at the start of a night shift. How do you decide who to see first?
What they are checking: Whether they prioritize using airway, breathing, circulation and acuity rather than room order.
Tell me about a time you noticed a patient was getting worse before anyone else did. What tipped you off and what did you do?
What they are checking: Whether they catch early warning signs and escalate promptly, which is what prevents rapid responses and codes.
A post-op patient's blood pressure is dropping and their heart rate is climbing. What are you thinking and what do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they recognize possible bleeding or sepsis and act fast, including calling the provider with clear data.
How do you call a physician at three in the morning about a patient so you get what you need?
What they are checking: Whether they use a structured handoff like SBAR and come prepared, so the call is short and useful.
Tell me about a time you made or nearly made a medication error. What happened and what did you change?
What they are checking: Whether they are honest about mistakes and report them, which matters more than claiming a perfect record.
How do you teach a patient going home with a new medication or a wound to care for?
What they are checking: Whether they use teach-back and plain words to confirm understanding rather than just handing over papers.
You're assigned a CNA who isn't getting vitals and turns done on time. How do you handle it?
