In this department at Adventist Health, handing off at shift change time in a smooth fashion is extremely important. Your interviewer is looking to see how you handle the hand-offs to and from your colleagues during the shift changes. As you answer this question, you need to showcase your communication and listening skills and how you take information and put it to work. Walking step by step through your previous employers' handoffs can also be beneficial because it will reassure the interviewer that you are familiar with step-by-step processes in these situations.

"In my current position on a busy med/surg unit, we have a process for transitioning at shift change. To start, the nurses coming off shift and those coming on have a huddle led by the unit supervisor at each shift change. Here, any significant issues with patients are discussed. Next, if any work remains to be done with a patient, we communicate to each other one on one to ensure that the needs of our patients are met. As an RN on the unit, I am required to complete all patient charting before I leave for the day, so both nursing and physician staff are up to date on each patient's chart."
