Certified Nursing Assistant Interview Questions

"Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) spend the majority of their days interacting with patients, and therefore employers focus CNA interviews predominantly on interpersonal skills and conflict resolution. Expect to answer a fair amount of situational questions, such as how you would handle agitated patients or potential issues with coworkers. CNA candidates are also be expected to have completed some kind of postsecondary nursing instruction, so make sure to brush up on basic healthcare knowledge and common nursing practices."

2,282 certified nursing assistant interview questions shared by candidates

questions like would you discuss a patient with a team member during your lunch break in the cafeteria. My answer should have been (after reading up more about HIPAA) that discussing patient case is a violation of the HIPAA privacy rules one because patient didn’t not give permission to talk about her, and two discussion in an unsecured location is not permitted since you can be overheard, and three does the person you are discussing then personal matter need to know this information and how much they should know. So say she’s a team member from another department then she doesn’t need to know.
