Interviewing at a GYN Practice

[Fade to Black...]

Hi guys! Sorry about posting another "Interview" question, but this one is different! Everything I've seen has been geared towards L&D positions in a hospital setting, not a nurse in a private practice...

Well, I am a soon-to-be new grad and I have just scheduled an interview for an RN in a GYN/Fertility Practice. I am sooooo excited because this is EXACTLY what I went to nursing school to do! I am wondering if anybody has any ideas of questions that I might be asked in this kind of setting? I just want to be as prepared as possible! Also, what kind of questions should I ask them? I know I will need to ask if there are other RNs working at the practice or if I would be the only one.

For what it's worth, I did my Senior Practicum in L&D at a major hospital here, so I do have limited experience in the field. Thanks in advance for your replies! :)

Since they know you are a new grad, most of the questions will probably be general interview questions:

Tell me about yourself?

What are your strengths?

What are your weaknesses?

Why do you want to work here?

How do you manage your time?

Describe a time when you had a conflict with a patient/co worker and how you handled it.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

You should ask a few questions like:

What does a typical day for an RN look like?

What is your orientation or training process?

To whom will I be reporting (who is your boss) and what is his/her management style?

Is there opportunity for continuing education?

(It's okay to ask about hours, benefits, even salary. It shows interest in the position. Just make sure it is one of your last questions.)

Good luck!
