ruby_jane, BSN, RN 3,142 Posts Specializes in ICU/community health/school nursing. Has 14 years experience. May 22, 2017 I have an interview this week, what questions should I expect? Lots of theoretical questions - like given a scenario, what would you do? (Don't say call the parents for everything right off the bat but if the question involves an accident or injury on campus, you call the parents!)Know your nursing process (Assessment, Diagnosis, Plan, Implement, Evaluate).I remember my "what would you do?" questions....I mostly answered with "it depends." Because so much of nursing is really - it depends!You might look up reporting requirements for communicable disease in your state or at least be able to say "I'd go to (insert the name of the source here) to see if this was reportable."If it's younger grades you might look up hearing/vision/scoliosis/acanthosis screening requirements for your state, too.Good luck!
