ICU interview

Hi, I'm thinking about applying for an ICU position but I have been away from the bedside for almost two years. I worked for two years in Medical-Surgical. I'm not sure what type of interview questions to expect aside from the basic "tell me about yourself" ones. Would greatly appreciate advice. Thank you!

    So glad to hear you're wanting to go into the ICU. We ask questions to try to get to know the nurse. They may ask you, tell me 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Tell me about a memorable moment you had with a patient and a difficult one. Good luck!

    I remember an interviewer asking me "Describe a typical day on the Med Surg unit". LOL.. I don't really remember what I said but I know it was a difficult question to answer for me because there was never a "typical" day. Every day was different and as we know, we wear many hats when working bedside. What is the best way to answer these questions without going on and on?
