Interview questions for new grad RN

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi all,

I am a new BSN graduate that recently got her RN license. I have an interview with the assistant nurse manager for a new grad position at Orlando Health hospital. What kind of questions should I expect? My friend in another state was grilled on the unit's specific specialty, how much she knew about nursing care for cancer pts, etc. It was brutal, never ending questions like that.

What are the interviews like in Florida? What have you experienced going in as a new grad. More general questions like what are your strengths/weaknesses or will they throw a lot of medical and nursing care question to see how much you know?

Your quick responses would be much appreciated. My interview is coming up VERY soon!!

Thank you!!!!
