Labor and Delivery Rn Interviewing for Med-Surg (primary health clinic) tomorrow

Published

I will be interviewing for a Primary Health Clinic tomorrow. I am really hoping to get the job but I have no med-surg experience. I went straight into L&D after graduation. Don't get me wrong! I love L&D but I need a better foundation to stand on. What types of interview questions should I prepare for? I know I did myself some diservice by going straight to a specialty which is why I am backtracking at this point. I would greatly appreciate some advice before 11am tomorrow

All good questions. Another I would add is "How would you handle conflict with your boss?" Congrats and let us know how things go!

I want to do L&D when I graduate. That is all I have ever wanted to do since I was little, and now I have had 4 babies of my own.

Can I ask why you say "I love L&D but I need a better foundation to stand on."?
