Had interview for LPN county jail position

I had my interview today. I think it went okay. Although, I wish that I could rewind and change some answers. I always think that I should have said this, or should have said that... One question was, "What do you do when inmate is beligerent?" My reply was that I would try to calm him down, but I would not hesitate to call for back-up help. I believe in calling for help before it escalates. And, that prevention is the best. Her example was an inmate throwing pills back in her face and refusing to take them.
Then, afterwards, I realized that I should have said that I would document the incident. And, if pt. refuses pills, notify supervisor and document it.
I hate interviews!!
Well, I will find out next week how I did. I believe that I really want this job.

I see you're in PA -- so am I. Was just wondering which county jail you applied at. Good luck!

Thumbs up Re: Had interview for LPN county jail position

Greetings! I totally know what you mean. I ALWAYS think of better answers AFTER leaving the interview. You are not alone in this. My sis and I still laugh about her most horrible interview (prior to this, she had never been turned down for a job). She's very outgoing and quite a card. She was in this interview with two people, and you could not engage these two for anything. My sis said they may as well have been slugs, for all the personality they displayed. All of a sudden my sis got distracted when she looked down and discovered her palm was bleeding (she said she remembered scratching it on something or other when she was walking into the room). Anyway, she said "Oh! I'm bleeding." Then she made her fatal mistake and said somthing about the stigmata. Well, she did not get that job, but was glad. She never would have enjoyed working with those two. They're probably STILL sitting there with their wooden faces! I really hope you get the job if you think it will work for you. Did you get a feel for if you would like working there, and did you like your interviewer? I wanted to tell you that a friend of ours got sarcoidosis. I remember he had lots of troubles with it, but not to the extent you have, I don't believe. He played music with my husband at the time he was diagnosed, and for some time, he was unable to play keyboards due to extensive joint problems, and other problems. I believe he has mostly recovered, but will have to ask my husband. He's asleep right now, which is where we should be! Be sure to post when you find out about the job. Best luck !
