Possible PACU Interview Questions??

Published

I have an interview for the PACU department and I'm just curious what the interview questions might be. A little nervous as I have been out of nursing for 5 years. Previous experience includes ICU. Anything would be greatly appreciated:D

Specializes in M/S, MICU, CVICU, SICU, ER, Trauma, NICU.

Have you given major amounts of narcotics to someone with an unprotected airway; if not, how would you?

Do you think pain is subjective, objective or both?

How do you deal with emergencies?

How flexible are you with assignments?

How would you deal with the fast pace, and sometimes seriously lacking report from previous caregiver?

How comfortable are you with kids? neonates? parents?

Those are just some of the questions I ask during peer review.
