New Grad ED Interview - HELP!

Specialties Emergency

Published

So I graduated last month with my BSN and applied to a graduate nurse program through one of the major hospitals in my area. I was SUPER excited to get a call inviting me in for an interview next week for the Emergency Department Nurse Internship Program (EDNIP) which is definitely highly sought after among new grads! I know it is super competitive and I want to prepare for the interview the best that I possibly can so that I have a real shot at this job!

I've heard that there will be a mixture of behavioral questions and clinical scenarios and I wanted to see if I could get some feedback on what kinds of questions/scenarios I could expect for an ED interview? Any and all feedback is much appreciated!

Also, what do you think would help me stand out as a potential new hire for the ED? Did anyone do or say anything in particular in their interview that they really think made the difference in them getting a job?

I've prepared a lot already, but I know that allnurses.com is usually a great resource for this type of thing and I wanted to see if I could get some great feedback on how I can land this job!

Thank you!

I know it is important to be confident. One thing I remember while interviewing are questions about dealing with patients who are hard to deal with or coworkers who are hard to deal with, with examples. You have to seem like you will mesh well with the staff including support staff
