Every unit will have a different style of interviewing. You may very well not have any clinical questions at all. Then again....
Be able to tell about the sickest pt for whom you cared during your clinicals. Be able to discuss the disease process, what you found interesting.
They may throw questions at you regarding DKA, DIC, renal failure, sepsis. Obviously, the type of questions would depend on the type of ICU.
You might just take a quick look at icufaqs.org .
Good Luck!!
thanks for your response

A couple of qualities that I find essential to doing critical care well are:
1. High attention to details
2. Ask lots of questions (and look for answers). No matter how long you've been a nurse
Good luck. It's a great area of nursing.
