Hello,
I just submitted my application for my ICU's nurse manager position. Would yall help me out by sending me some interview prep questions?
What I'm looking for:
Practice interview questions
How would you answer the question
What questions should I ask them?
About the position:
Managing 14 bed ICU and 6 bed step down unit in a small community hospital
Last 2 internal hires did not last longer than 1 year each (we were told they chose to step down because one was pregnant with her third child and the other wanted to be more involved in her toddlers' lives)
Upper level management is set on an external hire
Director says our main problems at the moment are staff accountability, quality & safety metrics (we've had near misses with both CAUTI & CLABSI)
Bedside staff historically prefer internal candidates
About me:
Bedside nurse since 2017 (1.5 years in Obs, 2 years in med/surg, 4 years in ICU) all on night shift
Worked at this hospital for 6 years
Relief charge nurse
Graduated with my MSN in Nurse Leadership in 2023
CCRN in 2024
Involved in Shared Governance, Code Blue Committee, Magnet Council, Hand Hygiene compliance audits, Titration audits
Both my director and my ACNO know me by name
Thanks in advance!!
