Lab Coord Interview Questions?

I have been called back for a short teaching presentation for the position of Experiential Lab Coordinator with a University in my area. This position would be a good step to get my foot in the door to the world of academia and allow me to complete my MSN/DNP and eventually move into a Prof position.

I have completed a phone interview with standard questions such as why I would like to represent the university, an example of a recent difficult situation, how I handle stressful situations, what is my sim lab experience, 3 things important to me in my job, short term goals and long term goals.

The teaching presentation is on starting an IV with more questions from the committee afterward. What sort of questions should I expect?

    Congratulations on the call back!!! I would imagine they will be critiquing your presentation while you present--are you engaging your audience? are you speaking in a clear, concise manner? Do you make eye contact and involve your audience? How do you adapt your teaching style to your audience or accommodate students with different learning styles? Do you arrive early to set up and greet your audience or are you fumbling around? Do you allow or encourage questions to be asked? They might also give you a difficult student scenario and how would you handle it? Think about what sets you apart from others interviewing?? Do you have neat ideas for teaching labs or engaging more clinical sites, etc?

    Or ask you what you know about their mission statement, teaching philosophy, etc. I encourage you to find these out and find out what nursing theory is their academic program/college is based upon---- Maslow's, Benner, etc. Good Luck and know you can do this!!!!
