Interview

[RNbubu]

I have an interview at a neuro and stroke unit. This unit care for patients who are recovering from a stroke or who developed neurological diseases, and for patients post-neurosurgical intervention. Any advice? Thank you in advance.

Read up on current stroke protocols and common neurosurgical procedures. They may or may not ask you any neuro-specific knowledge questions (I can't remember ever having been asked "what do you know about ____?" myself). Then work in a question or two about these populations. This way you are demonstrating your interest in learning, even if you don't have experience in this area yet.

I would read up on how you would react as a nurse if you come in a room and you suspect your patient has had a stroke, what do you look for, what do you anticipate will be done for the patient, the different types of strokes, why its a time sensity situation. We talked a lot about that during my interview with Neuro, best of luck!

Also, what is important to assess post-op since you will on a post-neurosurgical floor

curious as to how your interview went or if you've heard anything. I've recently accepted a position on a stroke unit and would love to hear how your journey with it ends up.
