Specializes in Cardiac/Tele.

Most of the questions I got asked (I work tele) were about patient safety, willingness to accept feedback, how you'd handle an emergency, handling difficult patient situations etc, and way less about tele-related stuff. Basically "are you going to be a good, safe, teachable nurse" type questions. Your mileage may vary!

Good luck!! Sleep well and eat a good breakfast :)

As important as the questions they will ask you are there are many other factors to consider too. Make sure to ask them questions as well and don't just ask the basic, try to be a little creative but ask about things that are legitimately good questions and ones whose answers you want to know. Also best not to ask a question that you could have found the answer to on their company website, etc. (which you should also research beforehand.) Also be yourself but maintain a business casual composure. Don't be so nervous to let a little of yourself shine and by that I mean emphasize what you have to offer or bring to the table. Give solid examples as well. My sister who works in hiring once said that I you got the interview then they like you "on paper" so use the interview to show them they will like you in person too. It's a chance to sell yourself but also get a better feel for the employer as well. Good luck sorry if this was excessive lol

I just finished my interview. I was interviewed by only one person. I think I did well .All the questions were situational questions. After I finished the interview I offer letters of recommendations to the manager but they refused. The manager said " you will give them to me later if I hire u" . Is that a bad sign? I perceived his answer as I am not going to hire you so why bother with ur letter of recommendation. What you think? Any thought ?

Letters of recommendation would be processed through human resources. The hiring manager does not have time to do that.

Best of luck.. it still sounds positive. Let us know how it went.
