Interview with NYPH as a new grad - Page 3

Whatever you do, don't work in their oncology unit. The managers and staff there are nightmares! Friends have told me. Nobody stays there. After a year, everyone leaves. They eat the young.

Can't remember all of them, but my nursing prof taught the behavioral questions asked in an nursing interview were around the personality traits called the 5 C's

• compassion
• communication
• care
• conflict resolution
• calmness

Tell me about a time the most uncooperative patient you have had to deal with. How did you handle it.(to assess communication and conflict resolution)



Our hospital serves a very diverse population. How have you prepared yourself to deal with patients from various backgrounds?


Suppose you learned that your fellow LPN was taking shortcuts and that a prescribed plan of care was not being followed for a patient. How would you handle this?
