That totally makes sense bc those are the types of questions I was asked! I feel like I was maybe too honest with some of them... Like the one I was asked how my co worker would know if I were flustered at work . I said that you would probably be able to tell, and I would tell you. Also I would be very focused and task oriented. Thinking about it now I feel like I should have answered differently... Like that you wouldn't be able to tell I was flustered unless I told you I was. But I would think hiring managers respect honesty more than someone trying to be perfect bc No one is perfect!

Thank you for your positive feed back! I will let you guys know!

The description of your interview sounds very similar to mine! After the hiring manager the nurse manager that was originally with me had to leave and find a different nurse to come in! So that makes me feel much better. I guess that true unexpected things always arise in the hospital. So wait you did or didn't get offered a position?? I sent the thank you a couple hours afterwards, they said they would let me know within the next week. They sounds confident when they said they would get back to me in a week. So fingers crossed.

So I just had my first interview for a position in a nurse residency program and I really cant determine whether it went well or not! I am a huge over thinker, like most of us women are... hahah But first off the residency coordinator was later, and then the nurse manager that began with us had to leave and another manager took her place so i felt like it was very informal and i felt like that this meant that they didnt think my interview was important. I was kind of caught off guard with the questions, i had already had an interview with HR department which went really really well, but the questions i was asked were similar to what the HR asked me. I was expecting nursing scenarios. I did not get asked one of those. They really focused on how you manage time, an instance when an instructor had given me constructive criticism and how i dealt with that. I wasnt prepared for those questions. I answered them to the best of my ability, but i think i did not answer a couple of them very well at all. Also the interview did not go as long as time allotted for which i know is not a good sign... I sent a thank you letter. Im just looking for some insight on how you guys think it went from past experiences with interviews.
