What are some RN interview questions now that I have experience?

I only went on two interviews when I got my first RN job over a year ago, and they just asked me general questions. I now have a phone interview in the same med-surg area at a different hospital, but I'm nervous about the questions because I'm not sure what to expect. Patient situations? Clinical questions?

Besides the usual interview questions, what do managers tend to ask? If you are a manager, what do you look for?

I searched the site but most answers were for new nurses. Thanks!

What are your strengths as a nurse?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

What do you think is better, teamwork or being independent?

Why are you leaving your old job? Why do you want this job?

They may ask behavioral interview questions such as "Tell me a situation when you did this...or that."

Whatever the question and answer is, make sure your answer reflects your strengths, motivation, and experience.
