Sample Interview Questions

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

I recently had an interview and thought I would share some questions I was asked.

1. Describe a time you were unable to meet the needs of a patient, how did you respond, what was the outcome?

2. Describe a time you were able to meets the needs of a patient more quickly then expected?

3. Describe a time you worked in a team and faced conflict. What was the conflict and what role did you play?

4. Please describe your duties at your current/most recent job? Why did you leave your most recent job?

5. Describe how you interact when you first enter a new group? What role do you play? and How do you build relationships with the group members? - I had the most difficult time with this one, the "how do you build relationships with group members," I had to describe specific things I did and i could not remember.

wow, thank you for sharing, these are incredibly helpful!

Thanks for sharing! They are actually great questions.

6. Describe a time you had to change the way you were completing an assignment/task because it was no longer working. What was the task, how did you change it, and what was the outcome? This was difficult too!!
