Nurse Interviews

Nurse Interview Questions

As nurses spend the majority of their days interacting with patients, employers are looking for candidates who can demonstrate strong interpersonal, teamwork, and conflict-management skills. Come ready to discuss a time you handled a tense patient or excelled under pressure. Employers will also expect candidates to have a robust knowledge of nursing practices, so expect to be quizzed on proper medical procedure and patient handling.

I was asked a few critical thinking nursing questions, the one I remember the best was something like "You have a patient who is post-op (ortho surgery, knee or hip?). The patient is doing well when all the sudden you are called to the room and the patient is having sharp chest pain and shortness of breath"..and maybe they added another symptom or two...can't remember exactly. I was asked what I would suspect was going on with the patient based on scenario.
