Patient Care Assistant Interview: HELP!

[Tyler626]

Today I got a call asking if I would like to schedule an interview for a per diem Patient Care Assistant job at a local hospital. I was wondering if any of you guys could share your knowledge with me and tell me what I can expect. I would also like to know some good questions that I could ask the interviewer towards the end of my interview. Also, if you would also include any additional information that may make me look/sound more appealing would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you! I am SO excited I've waited for this opportunity for SO long and don't want it to slip away! I'm a nervous wreck!

While I can't tell you what to expect when you go to work in the hospital I can tell you some if the questions that I asked when I went in for my interview. The most important question to me was about my patient load because I know for a fact that where I work I was told patient load would be 1:10 CNA to patient however once I actually started working I soon discovered it was more like 1:20-25 maybe but I'm sure in a hospital that won't happen and I also asked about my uniform and if there was a specific color that they wanted me to wear and if they would provide some for me or if I was on my own.
