CoffeeRTC, BSN, RN 3,734 Posts Has 25 years experience. Jan 30, 2009 Ask what type of pts they normally see. What the long term rate and short term rate is..as far as length of stays. They might ask you do discribe how you would deal with certain situations with staff or family complaints. The basics...what are your strengths? Weaknesses?

DDdove, LPN 55 Posts Has 1 years experience. Feb 21, 2011 I think we should not think of it a failing when we do not get the job. Maybe the interview went very well but it's just that they had 5 good applicants to pick through and only one position :)
