I agree. I think they're looking for real simple things not any elaborate details. I hate these kinds of scenario questions and they always seem to ask them. Although I haven't had that one.

Thank you. That was similar to how I answered but when you don't have any other history and don't know how long the pt has been there, what has already been done etc.

Hi, I had an interview the other day and was asked what I would do in this scenario. First off I was asked how I would deligate 3 pt's and who would I take. There was an alzheimer's pt, a diabetic and the pt with CHF. I said I would give the alzheimer pt to the CNA, the diabetic to the LVN and I would take the CHF pt. "what would you do for your patient with CHF, pneumonia and shortness of breath, increased HR of 130, increased BP?" It was a little hard to answer only because I didn't have any other history. So I was wondering how some of you experienced nurses would answer this question. Thanks

Thank you. I'm actually a returning nurse after 20 yrs and have never this kind of interview.

NEED HELP!!! Not sure if this question will come up when I go interview but a friend told me she had been asked this. The question is "What would you do if you had your pt list and had organized your priorties and an emergency came up, described what you would do. My friend said she didn't real know how to answer this. It was hoping one of the nurses here could give a good answer to this. Thank you

thank for your reply. i will ask about the externs. however i'm not actually in the rn program yet. i'm working on all my prerequisites have probably another year of them before i move into the step up program. i really don't know what to expect when going for a job now days, the process is so different. it used to be you filled out an application and got the job, now you interview with several different people and they ask a ton of questions. anyway thank you again.

Hi, I'm reposting because I realized I may have posted in the wrong section. I have been an LVN for 20 years. Problem is I haven't worked for 17 years. I decided to go back to nursing and am currently going to school for RN and need to work. I recently took a nurse refresher course but am having no luck finding a job and have been told I need at least a years recent experience. I contacted a registry who accepted me but I'm very nervous about being sent to different facilities because of being away for so long. Can anyong give me any advice on registries. Also I will be going into the registry to sign the paperwork. Do they interview at that time and if so what type of questions might they ask?
