Interviewing tips for family practice please.

I just interviewed with a family practice office. One of the interview questions was what topics would I cover in CHF patient education. The office is over 75% pediatric and I only have adult experience so another question was how I would adjust to pediatrics. I talked about my volunteer experiences and nursing school clinicals. Best wishes!

Be confident. Tell the interviewer what you can bring to the table such as thinking fast on your feet, excellent clinical and critical thinking skills due to your hospital experience. Ask questions like what an average day would be like for you as a RN in the clinic, how many patients do they generally see on an average day, does each doctor have certain quirks/preferences that you would need to be aware of, etc..Good luck!

Make sure you tell them you have great organizational skills, customer service skills and love meeting new people. Like the above poster said, make sure you ask at least a few questions. I wouldn't ask the person interviewing you about doctor preferences-I'd save that for after you get hired. Don't look to the right before you answer your questions, as some people believe that it indicates someone is lying.

Just smile, appear warm and high energy and you'll be sure to get the job.

The office I worked in was very big on nurses providing patient education. I would emphasize your experience with that since they will most likely want you comfortable providing parents teaching on administration of their children's meds or treatments. When I worked in family medicine I was interviewed by the Medical Director, Head Nurse, and Office Manager. They expected me to be willing to float between front and back office duties. So discussing your ability to multi task efficiently will be beneficial. Flexibility was key, especially in a smaller office as you might be the nurse, receptionist, and lab tech in one day. Good luck!
