new grad bad interview

what sort of questions have you been asked?

I was only asked general questions asking me to a recall a time when I had interacted with a patient whose condition changed/was from a different culture/was angry about their care etc. To prepare for these questions I gathered up my nursing care plans from school and my clinical journal entries and reread them. It helped me to be able to recall specific instances that I could talk about in my interview. For example I could say 'on this clinical I cared for a patient who was being weaned from his tracheostomy and was having thick secretions. This is what I did for him and what I was looking for during my assessments' or whatever.

I definitely sympathize with you - it must be tough forgetting the little details that come to mind so easily when you are fresh out of school.

not sure I can help,

but someone once told me if you don't know the answer to a question during a nursing interview, always go back to the nursing process. So like start with "well first I would assess...." and then follow the process

Not sure if that's helpful but that's what I was told...
