First Nurse Interview Experience

Nursing Students General Students

Published

Hello everyone I recently graduated May 14 so i decided to start putting in applications to graduate nurse programs. I was stoked to receive a call for an interview that same week. I was called to interview for multi system med surg floor. Fine with me this will help with my skills so i agreed. Upon arrival I interviewed with HR first then she took me to the floor and I was interviewed by 2 nurse mangers at the same time (I was so nervous LOL). They gave me the basic Why did you get into nursing and tell me a time when questions. Then I was given scenario questions like what would you do if your pt... or what pt will you see first i received like 6 of these . I was like whoa LOL. But all in all I would say i did well But to get the position I must have my NCLEX done by June 25 which isn't too bad!!!

Anyone have any interview experiences yet?

Congratulations! I had an interview at a psych hospital recently, and it was more conversational. She did ask about my prior experience, as I do have extensive non-nursing experience in health care. No real scenario questions from that interview. I was offered the position. :)

Same here- must pass boards (for both jobs I have pending) in order to start working. I'm DYING to get my ATT. I've been studying like a mad woman, but I'm sure I'll never feel totally ready. Good luck!
