Charge Nurse interview help

Published

Hey Nurses,

Just looking for a few tips on the sort of questions i'll be asked in a Bupa Charge Nurse interview? I'm only 23 and got a year and a half of post reg experience so a bit worried that goes against me!

Have to ask this - what's "Bupa"?

My guess is you will encounter some questions on time management, delegation, and managing coworker conflict. Be familiar with the environment you will be interviewing for and any challenges or specializations they are currently dealing with. Be confident and professional. Know what you want from your career, and what you bring to the table.

Your experience may work against you, but don't count yourself out. Some really enjoy the "fresh" perspective.

Be prepared to answer behavioral questions.

With behavioral interviewing, instead of being asked "what would you do if...?" it's "tell me about a time when you..."

Have some scenarios answered in your head ahead of time.
