any advice on interviews....

Specializes in ICU.

I have an interview with Northeastern coming up and I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice. I am preparing myself for both clinical and personal/goal type questions. Any thing I can focus on?? I have posted to the SRNA website and haven't had any responses. Anything will help, thanks so much.

Just be sure to know your drugs you commonly use in your unit to the intracellular level and be very familiar with the cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal systems. Be prepared to present a patient you recently cared for in your unit. If they ask you a question and you don't know, don't be afraid to say "I don't know".

just be prepared. if you mention anything in your interview like what your sickest patient was on, his history, anything, just be ready to back it up. for my interviews i led the way i wanted them to go. if i mentioned neostigmine i was expected to know how it worked at a cellular level. also they will gear the questions based on your experience. if you came from a cardiac background i cant see them asking you what the signs of uncal herniation are.
