Med-Surg Interview next Tuesday!

[lm8539]

Hi! I have an interview next Tuesday for a new grad position on a Med-Surg floor, and I was wondering what are the most common illnesses I should review in order to prepare for potential nursing scenario type questions?

I am assuming DM, pressure ulcers, pneumonia, bronchitis, appendicitis....anything else in particular that stands out?

I just went for an interview a few days ago for a full time job. The manager didn't ask me specifics about any disease process. Considering I have been through numerous job interviews in my lifetime, The managers here lately ask questions pertaining to you as a person, your personal strengths and character, how you handle conflict, strengths/weaknesses,and your goals(long term and short term).

All I suggest is for you to be yourself, be professional,articulate your answers, relax...they can tell when you are nervous and when you sound reheorificed.Be confident in yourself and you will do fine.

Best Wishes!

I went for a med-surg interview as a new grad nurse just a few weeks ago and like changinme said, they didn't ask about any disease processes or "how would you respond if..." questions (thank goodness). So don't stress, you should be fine.
