ER interview next week. Would someone mind reviewing my resume and list of ?s

Published

Specializes in Pediatrics, ER.

Finally finally! I'm interviewing for a community hospital ED position about 45 minutes from my house. I want to be an emergency nurse so badly and I'd really like an ED nurse to review it and let me know what to change or spruce up to help myself stand out. Please let me know if you are able to. Also, any interview tips would be much appreciated.

Also, here are some questions I plan to ask. Let me know if I should omit or add anything:

How long is orientation?

How does the clinical ladder work?

# of patients per 24 hours and average acuity?

Average door-to-floor time?

How long before training for triage?

Nurse-patient ratios?

Do you require nurses to become CENs?

Opportunity for OT?

Do you utilize ED techs or paramedics?

Does an ED nurse assist in the transport of patients from ambulance to cath lab or does the cath lab team meet them? (This particular hospital has a special program where known STEMIs go from the ambulance straight to the cath lab)

How do you manage pediatric patients? (no pedi floor)-->should I omit this?

Anything to add?
