RN Panel Interview

I dont know but good luck, make sure you smile in the interview

A panel is a great way to interview because you get multiple perspectives on a person. The way we panel interview is that each team member asks the person interviewing questions. You have actually already been interviewing every day that you have worked, so they will already have an idea of how you fit and your work ethic.

Do nurse extenders recieve training? The same orientation? What about sitting on committees? you can ask these questions. Ask what their favorite and least favorite part of working the unit is. Do you already have a list of questions?


Yes you will eventually get a job- you just have to keep applying everywhere if this one doesn't work out.

Check the prior interview section- there is another person panel interviewing. the questions that they had were good. they might help. I'll give you the same advice...RELAX, take time and be thoughtful about your answers, and address everyone in the interview when you are answering questions. It's a little different because you know everyone. I'm usually a little quirky, going around shaking peoples hands. But it seems to bring down the tension.

About the other people- its hard to say if 3 months makes a differnce. It depends on how well they fit and work also.

BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Good luck! Just keep calm and don't rush your answers.

When we interview for positions, our manager asks one or two of the staff nurses to be in on the interview too. I've done it a few times and it was kind of fun- she does let us ask questions of the interviewees. The manager has the say ultimately although she does ask for input/opinions. I would bet that your situation will be similar.

Best of luck to you.

Hello!!! I also have a panel interview next week; it will be my first interview ever for a nursing position. Its at the hospital where I did my clinicals. I noticed your interview lasted an hour and a half! Can you please share what exactly did they ask you,, it seems like such a long time for an interview? I am beyond nervous. I really truly am excited about this opportunity they have given me but Im really scared to blow it...

Keep us posted, Sangrita!

Congrats on your new position!!! I can just imagine the sense of relief once you got the news!! Please keep us updated on how orientation goes and your first day on your own and everything else in between hehe...
As for me...I actually had my interview this afternoon.I was interviewed by 4 ppl in all. I have been preparing for weeks for this..I organized a binder with tabs and everything also with sheet protectors. You are not going to believe what happened I walk up with a big smile on my face,,shook everyone's hand,,, i sit down and on the first question:Tell me about yourself. and why I wan to be a nurse...as I was giving my answer half way MY EYES START WATERING, and tears start falling!!!! I just got so emotional talking about my reasons.. I wanted to die! After I apologized like 5x the interview continued. I do remember given a lot of my stories of situations that happened to me during my clincals as answers to their questions..everything else is still a blurr...
I am taking it as a huge learning experience being my first interview and all and one thing is for sure I will NOT CRY next time!! I still cant believe I blew it...
