Mother Baby and honestly interviews are hard in general!! I was starting to feel discouraged but what I felt I did really different for this one was show my personality and not follow some sort of script. But I'm sure you did great, don't lose hope! You got this! ❤️
@David8380 They asked one general questions and all of questions were behavioral questions. 'tell us about a time based off of a patient's lab values or other results, you were able to catch something before it happened or before diagnosis?' It was one of the question... I could not answer, so I had to skip it. Tbh I can't really remember what questions they asked because it was so complicated questions...!

Noone can give them a good anwser for those complicate questions. You will get an offer!

Honestly depending on the question I feel like it could vary also depending on the unit. I personally didn't have much clinical experience beside nursing clinical but I let them know from the jump and when I spoke on my work history I made sure to focus on skills that were relatable to that unit that made me a good candidate. For example a server you learn to have great communication skills from that job and you could give an example. And so when behavioral questions came up I would pull from my job experience rather than my clinical more . I hope that made sense and helps! But overall just have lots of scenarios to pull from or make a list and depending on the question you can pull responses from those experiences and tell a story.

I agree, I felt like my answers weren't perfect at all. I felt like I was over talking! The whole process is just nerve racking I remember doing breathing exercises in the waiting room ?
