Help! Interview Questions

Published

I am going for my interview soon and I am studying my interview questions. Can you guys help me

with some answers? 1.) What is a weakness? 2.) what/when would you report to the principal? 3.) When would you report to CPS? 4.) What would you do if you seen a student attempting to buy drugs? 5.) What would you do if you seen students rough housing in the hall ways? 6.) why should we pick you (no school nursing experience) over someone else? 7.) What do you bring to the table or how would you be an assest to the district?

I think these are good questions. Also consider a prioritization question. Such as...a coach comes in with chest pain, a kid is brought in by a teacher with an obvious fracture, and a kid comes in needing a breathing treatment. All in three minutes. What would you do???

I love this...even though since I'm studying for the cert exam it immediately triggers a twinge of anxiety (i'm one of the testing anxiety crew)
