Interview questions

Published

I have an interview with a home health agency next week. I don't have case management experience. What are important questions to ask. I'm making a list and came up with hours, on call requirement, number of cases, what area I would be assigned to. I also want to ask about shadowing another nurse. What advice do you have for me?

Home Health Nurses perform an important job for patients. Many times they are called "Case Managers" by their employers, but they are not performing the same job of a Case Manager as represented by the majority of the nurses of this forum. With that said, you are applying for a job in Home Health to become a Home Health Nurse and not a Case Manager. Therefore a better forum for your post is the following:

Home Health Nursing

I am going to ask the powers-that-be to move this post if possible so you can get better responses. Good luck on your interview! :)

I'd save some of your questions for after their initial job offer to you. Questions that win you the job focus on THEIR needs:

1. What skills do you look for in your nurses? (Their answer is a GIANT clue as to what parts of your resume will be of most interest to them)

2. What challenges should I expect in this job? What resources should I draw on to make sure I succeed at this job?

3. How would you describe the strengths of this agency?

Etcetera. What I'm getting at is you want to genuinely show your interest in *them.* Once they make the offer, that's a great time to get nifty gritty about pay, hours, and other benefits.
