I have recently graduated from an ACNP program and passed my board certification. I have three interviews coming up and in acute care settings and I would like some suggestions on good questions to ask. I get very nervous during interviews and would like to go in prepared. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just answered these for someone's thread on an RN interview as these questions held true for my NP interviews as well (and I went on 10+ interviews). I would imagine if the position is acute care specific they might present you with a scenario and ask how you would prioritize?
Good luck!
Sorry good questions to ask....
-What would a typical day look like for me?
-Shift? Call? Weekends?
-What would my mentor ship/ orientation be like being a recent grad?
-How many days are given for CME?
-How much for CME?
-What type of person does well here?
-Is there an option to work 4, 10 hour days?

That is a good idea to go in with questions for them...I would want to know:
1) what sort of support is available, esp being a new NP
2) how much training to the position
3) curious to know the turnover for the particular position
Good Luck!!!!
Thank you so much everyone! These are all great questions!
