Do you have any tips for telephone interview for a travel nursing job?

Have an interview next week for a travel job. What are some questions that they ask and what should I ask?

Generally with your profile in hand, the manager already thinks you are qualified and want you. The interview is really just to convince you to accept the contract. There maybe some courtesy questions about your background and pertinent experience with their patient population, more to warm you up than anything else.

In 20 years of traveling I've only had two formal interviews with behavioural questions. One of them was for Kaiser with then vendor manager NurseFinders. That is probably status quo these days for those assignments that go through a vendor manager.

The prototype question is how do you deal with conflict with a peer, family, or physician. I'm in surgery so I simply say I blow it off until at least the surgery is over. Patient care first. That seems to keep the interviewer happy.
