Registered Nurse Interview Questions You Can Ask!
Questions You Can Ask Throughout Your Registered Nurse Interview
1. What do you look for in an ideal candidate?
2. What are some of the common errors made on your unit?
3. What is the biggest challenge this unit faces over the next few years?
4. How may I be involved in quality improvement & patient safety projects on the unit?
5. What is interdisciplinary communication like here?
6. What have been some of the biggest struggles you have seen with new grads, and what can be done to avoid them?
7. On a specific unit you can ask about core measure protocols.
8. Is there anything I have said or done that you would like clarification on? (Be careful with this one. You have to walk that fine line of being humble and not cocky.)
9. Ask what weaknesses they have seen in new hires that I can learn from.
10. Ask interviewer why they love working here.
Remember to make the interview a conversation!
This means that you must ask them questions.
After you answer one of their questions, and before you stop talking, you ask them a question, and then stop talking. Most managers will answer your questions.
If they say, “We will take questions at the end,” then you wait until the end.
At the very end of an interview, do not forget to ask, “How do I follow up?”
1. Ask for the best way to contact them.
2. Ask what their timeline to hire is.
