Interview Correctional Nurse Position

These sound like good questions to ask during your interview. It'll show that you're interested in the position. Given that they've seen your resume, which would include your lack of experience in correctional facilities, and they still want to interview you means that lack of experience isn't an issue to them, so those questions you're asking are appropriate for them.

As far as the types of questions they'll ask, it really depends on who they are and how serious they are about it. I've gotten a job where the interviewer giggled the whole time she was telling me about the position. Another wanted to know how I would fit a round peg into a square hole. It's really a toss up for what you're going to get. The panel is going to be intimidating no doubt, but don't let them see you sweat - much. A correctional facility job is bound to be high stress and they are testing you early on. I would anticipate a lot of questions regarding safety, how you perform under stress, teamwork, etc. I interviewed in a mental health facility where the patients were largely psychotic, homicidal, and suicidal, and the interviewer was very blunt and up front about it. You need to deem whether or not you will be able to safely perform your job and if you don't feel comfortable in such situations then that means the job is not a fit.

Hey OP, how'd it go? I have an interview for a correctional nurse in a week and I'm super nervous too!

As far as emergencies go, yeah all day long. MI's, heat stroke, asthma attacks, seizures, hypoglycemia. So you need to be calm cool and collected. As far as what to you do, you follow procedures.

Did you get the job?
