Interview Questions

A question that I had in several interviews when I graduated was a prioritizing question such as..You have just come out of report and you have a pt call out with chest pain, an unsteady confused pt crawling out of bed and a pt with a new blood transfusing complaining of SOB and extreme itching...what do you do? who do you see first and why? Good luck at your interview!! I am sure you will do great.

Great!! Thank you for your help :)

I had a question which asked, "Tell me about a time you exhibited leadership." This was the one question I had not prepared for; floundered a little, muddled my way through it, got the job anyway and am now orienting in the ICU.

Good luck! Try to relax.

The question I remember best is what d you do if you enter a pt.'s room and they are not responding. Remembered to check vitals, and ask about DNR. Good Luck.

U guys are brilliant!! Thank you for your help!

Other things you may get asked are:

- about the NHS modernisation angenda

- knowledge and skills framework,

- where you see yourself in x years,

- describe a situation you showed leadership qualities in, or

- describe a situation where you learned something which affected your practice...

Thank you again!!! This is all really helping and giving me more confidence! Hope that other nurses in my situation will benifit from this post too :)

Hey thanks everyone, got the job!! Also just like to add on other questions that I was asked, like what would u do if ur patient is tachycardic, how would u handle a complaint and what would u do with a patient who has already recieved pain killers and sittin up in his bed readin a newspaper and complainin of pain.

THANK YOU!!!
