Tell me about your prior nursing experience.

"I completed my LPN program in 2010 and worked on the telemetry and pediatrics units at my local hospital for about four years. During that time, I completed my RN program and have been working at the same hospital in the emergency department since then. I enjoy working in a hospital and would be open to exploring different opportunities within Cleveland Clinic, including a float position."

The interviewer would like an overview of your years of experience, the settings you have worked in, and the positions you have held. For example, if you started as a nursing assistant and progressed through the LPN and then the RN program, that would be beneficial to share. If you are a new grad, you can share your experiences from completing your clinical rotations. Be sure to highlight any experiences relating directly to the position you're applying for at Cleveland Clinic.
