HELP!!!! Interview NSLIJ

I don't have any advice but I just wanted to wish you luck :)

Thank you!! I appreciate it. :)

Good luck at your interview! Be calm and confident, and don't worry about getting every questions right. You will probably Be getting situational/behavioural type questions, where you have to explain a time you problem solved, had conflict, etc.. And how you handle the situation.

I am not from the U.S., I am from Canada but I had some med-surg questions in my interview as a new grad. I was given a case scenario and had to explain what I would do, what were the priorities (a pt with a trach in respiratory distress and they were vomiting and had an ng tube.). Another question I had was where I was given a set of vitals and had to predict what was occurring to the patient. I was also asked complications of cardiovascular surgeries (the unit I'll be working on is CVS).

But most of my question were about myself (where do I see myself in 3-5 years, how is my leadership style, how do I resolve conflict with other nurses and staff).

There were many questions I couldn't prepare for but did my best to answer genuinely. I was asked who was my role model and I used a close family member as a response and it made me tear up. In the end, they said they enjoyed my interview and I ended up being hired.

Be yourself and show you're someone who is eager to learn and enjoys team work environments. Most interviewers are looking for your soft skills (I.e. If you're a good fit for the unit) rather how good of a nurse you are now. They know you're a new grad so don't worry too much about the heavy stuff yet, although on the AN threads, I've seen people say they had questions based on medications and procedures. Try to research the hospital and values of the unit too. Best of luck to you!

thank you!!

Wishing you lots of luck! Smile and give good eye contact Let us know how it goes.

Got the job!!! Thank you guys!

Congrats!! I'm glad it worked for you! Cheers!
