They often ask scenario-based questions about "what woud you do in this situation". Or, "tell me about a time where your two coworkers had a disagreement and you had to settle it"... etc etc. Also, there is the oldie-but-goodie, where do you see yourself in five years.

Hi friends thank you for your help. They asked me some questions and are again calling me for tomorrow. They told that they can ask some nursing related questions. Can you plz help me what kind of questions may be asked by them. Thank you

1. Define your strengths and weaknesses - usually 3 of each.

2. Will ask your how to do certain basic procedures.

3. Why do you want to work here?

4. Describe how you are a team player

5. Anything preventing you from making it to work

6. How you would deal with difficult situations

Including management of difficult residents

7. How you manage stress?

Just a few that come to mind. Good luck!

Thank you very much it was very helpful.

How did your interview go and what did they ask you?

They just asked me some basic questions like about my experience, time I am willing to work, they also asked me how you handle abuse, nothing special related to nursing.
