Peer interview!

Published

Specializes in Rehab, LTC.

Hello,

I am a nursing student and just completed an interview for a CNA position at University of Louisville. It is on the Bone Marrow Transplant/ ICU unit from 7p-7a. I did well with the unit manager and she said the next step is a peer interview. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what questions I should ask in the peer interview. I've never worked with bone marrow patients any not sure exactly what to expect.

Thanks,

I just had an interview on Tuesday, during which I had a peer interview with two of the RNs on the floor. It was very laid back, they did most of the talking, giving me more details on how it is to work on that floor, how the nurses function as a team, basically the stuff that HR and the nurse manager won't tell you. I thought it was a great way to get to know some of your prospective co-workers. Of course they answered my questions, but it was just a friendly chat, not a technical discussion. that was my experience, may be different at other places. GOOD LUCK!

My last peer interview was the same, but I have had some that were a nightmare. We chatted like we had worked together for years. I got offers at all of the places that were like that. However, I did have a few peer interviews that went completly different and it was almost a hostile environment.

Good luck with your peer interview. Remember you are interviewing them also to see if you want to work with them.
