    SO I am a pre-nursing student and thankfully got an interview for a tech job at a hospital and i am SOO excited/ nervous. I am an okay-average interviewer, but would like some good interview sample questions/ answers so i am fully prepared. I do currently work in a medical office but on the clerical side and I am so thankful for getting the opportunity to interview for a more clinical side. Any one have suggestions? I just want to make sure i do well!! ps whats a good answer for what are my weaknesses?

    I am a PCT and in my senior yr of NS. I googled "tough to answer interview questions and answers" and you can get a lot of ideas that way. I HATE that "what is your weakness" question. I found a good one though....My weakness is I have difficulty working with lazy people or people that don't pull their weight. Then I turn it into how maybe there was something I could be doing to help that person...maybe they dont know EXACTLY what they are supposed to be doing and offer my help.
    Good luck with your interview!

    HA! thats great! I had an interview a few weeks ago and got the "weakness" question.... it has been a while since i have had to interview and completely forgot about these types of questions....


    but I ended up saying pretty much just that...

    "I have a low tolerance for incompetence and laziness."

    I also told her that I can be a bit pushy because I'm a virgo and I have to have things done a certain way. I'm the type that feels if I dont do it myself it wont get done correctly!( crazy I know, lucky for me though she laughed and said she understand cause she is a virgo herself!)

    I start the new job next month :-)
