15 Interview Questions With Sample Answers

1.   How do you prioritize when multiple patients and procedures demand your attention at once?

How to Answer

Working in any patient unit or clinic comes with times where the patient load is crazy. During these times, nurses are often the glue that holds everything together in the department to ensure that things run smoothly. Try to talk about a particular situation where you had to prioritize multiple patients at one time, how you handled the situation and what the outcome was.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"During my clinical rotation in an Urgent Care clinic, we had a very busy day where many patients were coming in due to widespread flu. In working with my preceptor, I learned how to communicate to patients. His calmness in handling the situation was inspiring. Also, personally, during my final year of coursework in college, I was taking 18 credits each semester. During these semesters, I had to learn to prioritize my classwork by due dates and order of importance. By utilizing checklists and working through each thing one at a time, I learned invaluable skills that I can bring to my nursing career."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"During busy times, I always remember that the needs of the patient come first so my triage skills come into use to prioritize which patients should be seen first. Exercising good communication between myself, the physicians and my patients is extremely important. Once I have established a good line of communication, I remember toI stay calm and handle patients with quality care one at a time."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"One day on my shift as a nurse in the surgery center, we were booked full of cases throughout the day. As the day progressed, we had a couple of other trauma cases that were a high priority come in due to an auto accident. When this happened, we had to work as a team to communicate to current patients and family members in waiting that we had to push their times back in the day due to an emergent situation. An on-call surgeon came in later in the day to help cover the regularly scheduled cases and I had to communicate with the three surgeons on duty as to where I was needed and when I needed to be there. In the end, being able to prioritize the patients and my duties was crucial in helping the day in the surgery center run smoothly."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I always begin by examining patient safety. If there are multiple needs and one involves patient safety that is where I first direct my attention. I then address any acute, urgent needs such as if a patient is experiencing significant pain that needs treatment. I then prioritize according to the time that individual tasks need to be completed by. For example, I would prioritize my patients having procedures according to what time their procedure is and when they will be picked up by the surgical team."

2.   How would you respond to an emergency situation at work?

How to Answer

Depending on the situation, you will want to respond quickly and make yourself available to assist the doctor in any way you can. Be aware of the surroundings and also observe the patient. Your best response will be one where you are sensitive to the situation by listening closely to the doctor and nurses involved. There may not be anything you can do to help, but if you get in the way, you could definitely create more problems. Ask what you can do and pay attention. If you need to step aside, be respectful and understanding.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"If an emergency were to arise, I would wait patiently for the doctors orders and assist her or him in whatever she or he needs. If there is an immediate danger to a patient or someone in my care, I would make sure to offer assistance to get them to safety."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"There can be any number of emergency situations in a healthcare facility, so how I would respond would be dependent upon what type of emergency it is. First and foremost is the safety of patients and employees. I would make sure no one is in immediate danger and follow any emergency protocol, per facility instructions."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I am the type of individual who will run to the emergency situation instead of away. I have the ability to focus well and think well under pressure. I also have my emergency nurse certification."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

3.   Nursing requires a great deal of physical exertion and travel nurses work in various positions. Are you comfortable with physically demanding assignments?

How to Answer

The nursing profession can be physically demanding. Standing and walking for long stretches, assisting in lifting patients and staying awake for odd hours and long periods of time are some of the physical demands of the job. For the position that you are interviewing for, make sure to research what the physical demands are for the job and point out how you are able to handle those tasks. It can also be beneficial to discuss your self-care methods because being a nurse often requires being in healthy mental and physical condition.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"I know that as I enter a nursing career, I will be asked to do some pretty extreme physical activity. Lifting patients and standing for long hours at a time comes easy to me as I've participate in sports all the way through high school and continued this through college. Being in great shape and eating healthy is a lifestyle choice that I have made and it will definitely help me in my nursing career moving forward."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"Through my nursing career, I have spent many long hours on my feet and working shifts at non-traditional times. To be able to do this with ease, I have worked hard to be in the best physical shape that I can be by jogging on a regular basis, eating healthy and getting ample amounts of sleep each and every night."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"In my nursing career, I have always handled the physical requirements of the job with ease. Before lift systems were standard in inpatient rooms, we physically lifted patients into and out of their beds when needed. The long hours and standing for long periods of time come easy to me as well. I realized early in my career that I needed to care for myself and my physical well-being outside of work and I continue to do this to this day."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"Yes, I am. I understand the physical demands that being a nurse requires and so I maintain a consistent exercise routine to keep me healthy and strong so that I can perform my duties to my best possible potential."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

4.   Why do you think nurses often report experiencing 'burn out' and what do you do to help try to prevent that?

How to Answer

Being a healthcare provider is a great responsibility. Unfortunately, because of the great responsibility, many providers do report experiencing the need to take a break. The interviewer wants to know that you are capable of handling stress and that you know when to ask for help.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"I had a great mentor when I was in nursing school. She told me if I didn't remember anything else she told me, that I should always remember to take care of myself. I have grown to understand what she meant. If we are bogged down physically and emotionally, it is easy to become overwhelmed and experience feeling burned out."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I understand how some healthcare providers can experience burn out. It has nothing to do with wanting to change professions or leave a job. Sometimes it's just hard to lose patients or to feel like we can't save them all. I try to schedule myself some personal time, whether its a few days away when I am off work or going hiking. Anything to help create some balance in my life."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"Unfortunately, I can speak from experience about burn out. When I was a new nurse, I thought I could work all the time and that I was invincible. I lost several patients within a short period of time and the toll of the loss was very overwhelming to me. Since then, I have learned how to work hard, but to also work hard at caring for myself as well."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I believe the reasons for burn out can vary. Sometimes it may be dependent on the type of nursing speciality one works in and other times it may be as simple as the long hours the individual puts in or the amount of extra shifts one works. For me, I always like to pick up and work extra shifts to help my team out but I also always ensure I am taking some time for myself each day and week to decompress and keep myself healthy. I enjoy exercising as well as reading to help relax."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

5.   When did you first decide to become a nurse, and why?

How to Answer

Understanding what drove you to become a nurse speaks volumes to the interviewer. The interviewer knows that you are dedicated or you wouldn't have gone to nursing school and wouldn't be willing to travel to care for others. This is a chance for the interviewer to get to know you; share your personal thoughts.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"From the time I was in junior high school, all I could think of was growing up and becoming a nurse. My best friend's dad was a family practitioner and I remember being very young, sitting in a room and talking with him about his practice. He would always lighten up about his amazing staff, especially the nurses. He made me realize that becoming a nurse was what I wanted to be. I have always remembered him and his genuine personality, optimism, and the love he had for his nursing staff."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I came from a family of educators, and was initially an education major in college. Through some friends, I joined a community service group and discovered how much I enjoyed helping people. During that same time period, both of my grandparents were diagnosed with cancer, and our whole family was very active in their care. My grandfather's oncologist became a close and influential role model for me during those early years. It was this combination of personal experiences, and the utility of applying science and technology to help people, which transformed my career aspirations."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"For me, nursing was the only option. Initially I wasn't sure what specialty area I was going to work in. I started nursing school and felt captivated by all of the medical staff and healthcare professionals that I met and worked alongside. I have worked in several specialty areas and am excited about the opportunity to now work as a travel nurse."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I've always known I wanted to be a nurse. From a young age I was intrigued by the medical field and I loved the impact that nurses have on an individual's life and medical care. I enjoy being able to work closely with patients and provide them with physical care while also providing support as their advocate."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

6.   Have you ever considered choosing a different specialty?

How to Answer

Many employee candidates are unsure of how to answer this question. Most feel that if they say they may have other interests that the interviewer will not recommend them for employment. This is not necessarily the case. This is simply an opportunity for the interviewer to get to know your interests.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"Actually, I had initially thought that I would become a xray technician. Something about nursing was just very intriguing to me and I knew I wanted to make a career in this specialty area."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I have never considered any specialty other than nursing. From the time I decided to go to medical school I knew I wanted to be a traveling nurse. I am happy to take classes and continue my education, perhaps for an advanced degree that may go hand in hand with current role, but I am not interested in changing my specialty."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"Becoming a nurse was the only thing I ever wanted to do. There are other areas that are interesting to me, but nothing that I would consider leaving this career for. I am quite happy with my choice of specialty and look forward to many more years of practice."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"When I first began my education I thought I would go to medical school to become a pediatrician however I instead decided to go to nursing school so that I could have more direct contact and interactions with patients. I have always been happy with my decision to go to nursing school. I love what I do and the relationships I have been able to build as a nurse."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

7.   How do you handle stressful situations?

How to Answer

Stress management will be essential for you to be able to handle tight deadlines, long hours and demanding patients. Before answering this question, think of some tools that have helped you manage your stress. What will you do when you can't take a break when you need it? How will you stay calm when dealing with those challenging personalities? Share any helpful techniques that you use every day to remain clear-headed in some of the most stressful scenarios.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"When I am under pressure on the job, I try to focus on the job at hand. I like to make lists and prioritize activities that I need to accomplish."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I've learned not to take words or actions of stressed patients personally. Even when I'm feeling rushed or overwhelmed by a deadline and being pulled in too many directions, I can ground myself knowing that I'm providing the best customer service and caring for my patients the best way that I can."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"I think we all experience stress on different levels and from various triggers. For me, being self-aware has played a big role in my personal stress management. If I have things that I know need to be done on a specific day, I try to create a list and prioritize the order in which those things should be done. I also try to factor in time for things that may be unexpected, for instance emergency blood draw, and try to stay focused on each assignment. Learning to stay focused is a big stress reliever in and of itself."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I tend to work well under pressure, during stressful times and consider this one of my strengths. I first always try to keep in mind that when times are stressful it is more common for individuals to lash out and I try not to take things personally. During stressful situations I focus very closely on the task at hand and completing it to my fullest potential. If absolutely necessary and it is safe to do so I may take 1 minute to deep breathe and center myself and then return to my work. At the end of a long day I always work to ensure I have a chance to either go running or do some form of a workout as a way to decompress and care for my physical and mental health.

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

8.   What about your work feeds your spirit?

How to Answer

This question will give the interviewer an inside look at how you think and what motivates you. This is an opportunity to let the interviewer see inside you, not just watch perform a task. Be open. If you can recall a specific event that happened while working that made you happy or feel fulfilled, share it.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"To be able to care for a child during a time that is so stressful and to be able to touch the lives of others in some small way is meaningful beyond words. When a parent looks me in the eye, gives me a hug, and thanks me for making a difference in the life of their child, the feeling is remarkable."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"Every day that I go to work, I realize how amazing children really are. I look into the eyes of the children I care for and realize that I have been blessed with an incredible job and career."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"There are many things about my job that feed my spirit, or make me feel like I've made the right career choice. I love it when my patients begin to feel better and I can walk in their room and hear them laugh or when they smile after being sick for so long and not feeling like it. There is just something about being a pediatric nurse that makes me feel like I truly can make a difference."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"What feeds my spirit is being able to help parents and children through difficult times no matter how big or small. I once had a pediatric patient who was going to begin using a continuous glucose monitor. The child was nervous and hesitant about beginning it. I was able to help support the child through learning about the device, seeing and feeling it first, and then applying it. I was able to be a positive, supportive voice for that child and what started out as a nerve wracking idea for him entered up being a positive experience and he was able to leave the clinic happy and smiling."

9.   Salary is often commensurate with experience. How do you feel about someone with more experience than you having a higher salary but doing the same job?

How to Answer

Most employers do offer higher salary incentives to get more seasoned employees. This is not meant to devalue a person's knowledge or experience, but rather paying for more experience. It is important to note that the interviewer is not saying you will definitely make less than someone with more experience. Many times this question is to see how you respond and how badly you want a position. If an employee is willing to put in the work and earn the pay increase, employers often see them as someone worth investing in. This is a good time to ask what the beginning salary is and discuss options that are negotiable such as benefits and paid time off.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"I don't have a problem with someone who has more experience than me making a higher salary. I respect the experience that others have and know that I will have to prove myself."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I realize that salaries are often determined by the amount of experience an applicant has. I appreciate the fact that employers recognize experience as a factor in determining pay and am willing to show that I am worthy."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"I understand that years of experience are often rewarded with higher earning. I feel, given the chance to demonstrate my knowledge and skills, you will find that I am capable of doing the job as well as some of the more experienced employees. Having said that, I will not turn down an offer of employment because of a difference in pay based on my present lack of experience. With that in mind, what benefits are available for someone coming on board with your company with my resume?"

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I believe this is completely appropriate and I respect this order within the healthcare industry. In my opinion it only makes sense that an individual with several years or potentially decades of experience would have a higher salary than someone who is just starting out in the nursing field."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

10.   Do you have experience working with peers from diverse backgrounds?

How to Answer

In an industry as large as healthcare, diversity among peers is inevitable. To be successful, it is crucial to learn how to work with a diverse group of people. Some people are intimidated when faced with learning new cultures and beliefs, but in the healthcare industry, it is crucial to provide effective care. The interviewer wants to know that you are open to meeting and learning about new people and becoming an integral part of the team. Be positive with your response.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"The largest diverse group I worked with was probably when I did my clinical rotation at University Medical Center. I was afforded the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, religions, and professional backgrounds. It gave me an eye-opening experience of how many wonderful people there are!"

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"The diversity of specialty areas is something I love about the healthcare field. I like the idea of being in a career that challenges me to learn and grow. I believe we all have something that we can contribute to others and I like to embrace the diversity among those that I work with."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Answer Example

Experienced: "Yes, I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds. I think one of the great things about the healthcare industry is that we have people from all backgrounds and walks of life who come together with the common interest of caring for others. I try to take advantage of opportunities to meet people and learn about them as much as possible."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"Yes, I have worked with peers from diverse backgrounds since the very beginning of my nursing journey during nursing school. I enjoy working with a diverse team. It helps me to remain culturally aware and helps me to learn more about others and other backgrounds which I really like."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

11.   Do you feel like you have strong relationship building skills?Building strong relationships is essential for success of any business. The healthcare industry is no exception. Share why you think you have good relationship building skills.

How to Answer

Building strong relationships is essential for success of any business. The healthcare industry is no exception. Share why you think you have good relationship building skills.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"I do feel like I have good relationship building skills. I like people and enjoy getting to know them."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I have often been complimented on my relationship building skills.

I consider myself to be a strong relationship builder and take pride in my 'people skills.'"

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"I believe I have strong relationship building skills. I value the opinions of others and try to show respect to them. I find that having a caring attitude and a willingness to learn about others helps build relationships."

Written by Darby Faubion

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

12.   Can you recall a time when you had a disagreement with a co-worker or boss? If so, how was it resolved?

How to Answer

Any time you work with someone else, there is a chance of having a disagreement about something at one time or another. The interviewer knows this. It's human nature for people to have their own opinions. What is important to the interviewer in this question is whether or not you are willing to compromise and work through difficult situations with your co-workers. Being unwilling to compromise or find alternative solutions to a dispute can affect everyone on the team, even if it is indirectly. Sharing a personal experience is OK, but do not embellish it to 'be the hero.'

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"I am a pretty easy-going person and do my best to avoid conflict. Like anyone else, I am sure there have been times that a co-worker and I have had a difference of opinion, but there has never been an instance that the disagreement was something that would have interfere with my work."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I believe if we think about it, each of us could remember at least one disagreement with a friend or co-worker. Although I consider myself to be pretty easy-going, I am also very passionate about my patients and the care that they receive. I have been aware of disagreements between other co-workers, but really like to think of myself as more of a peacekeeper. I feel like professional people should be able to discuss things logically and come to an agreement that is satisfactory for everyone involved."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"I think the most common disagreement between myself and others have involved our personal feelings about how healthcare should be carried out. However, I have learned, as have most of the people that I have worked with, that while our opinions are important, plans of care are designated by strict guidelines and with the input of everyone on the care team as well as the patient. Learning to respect those guidelines and patient wishes usually resolves issues that arise."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I usually try to be the peacekeeper however I think everyone encounters disagreement or confrontation at some point in their career. I previously had a disagreement with my charge nurse regarding a daily nursing assignment. It had been my third shift in a row and I had been given a completely new assignment from the previous days even though all of my previous patients were still on the unit. I asked the charge nurse if I may speak with her and I quickly and privately exampled my concerns. She validated my concerns and was able to share with me how she determined the nursing assignment for the day. In her doing this I was able to learn that there had been some changes in the patients' status over the night and that if I had kept the same nursing assignment it would have been much heavier than it was the previous two days and not the safety option. This was very helpful for me to understand and it showed me the importance of communicating well with all members of my team."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

13.   What would you describe as your biggest weakness?

How to Answer

This is probably one of the most dreaded questions in a job interview. Answering this question requires self evaluation and honesty. Remember, whatever weakness you decide to share, make sure it is not a key characteristic needed to perform your job.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"One of my weaknesses is that I often get nervous around people I don't know. I know we all do that to a certain degree, but for me, it has become something that I am aware of. I now try to attend social activities where I know there are going to be opportunities to meet new people so that I can overcome social anxiety."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I think one of my biggest weaknesses is that I can get sidetracked easily. I recognize that in myself and have made a conscious effort to plan my day as much as possible and to stay on target."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"My biggest weakness has got to be that I take on too many projects at once. While being involved and participating in various things is fun and can be good for a person, I tend to take on several things and then leave some projects unfinished. I have begun to limit myself to only taking on a few projects at a time so that I can devote the necessary time to staying on task."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"I think my biggest weakness is that I can be a soft spoken individual. Sometimes this may come across to others that I am not confident in my skills although that is not the case at all. I am consistently working on their area of myself to improve it and instead turn it into a strength of mine."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

14.   Some travel nurses are assigned to well-child clinics. Have you ever done wellness exams or given immunizations to pediatric patients?

How to Answer

Depending on the services a facility provides, some pediatric nurses may be expected to assist with well child exams and/or give immunizations. While every skill you are asked about in an interview may not be a mandatory skill for employment, the interviewer will be able to compare your experience and skills with all possible openings.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"I have always worked the pediatric unit in a hospital setting. So far, I have not had experience with working with well-child care and screenings or immunization administration."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"I used to work in a health unit and one of my primary jobs was to well-child exams and health screenings and to give immunizations to pediatric patients."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"Yes, I actually worked in a primary care physician's office and I was the Kidmed nurse for that office for over a year. I love children and being able to educate parents and children on safety and wellness measures is a nice alternative to caring for patients who are always sick."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"At the current time I have not completed wellness exams or immunizations on pediatric patients. I have done both for adults though. I am eager to learn and I am a very driven nurse. If assigned to a well-child clinic I would review the aspects of a well-child visit to ensure I understand my role and the expectations clearly. I will also familiarize myself with the differences in giving injections and immunizations to children versus adults."

Written by Tabitha Cumpian on December 28th, 2022

15.   Tell me about a time you had to communicate bad news to a patient. How did you effectively communicate that news and what was the outcome?

How to Answer

As a nurse, the need to communicate effectively to a patient is vital and this is no more evident than when delivering bad news. The interviewer will be looking to see how you handled yourself in a particular instance by showing empathy and composure where most individuals wouldn't be able to. Think of a time when you had to do this and talk about an instance that had a great outcome.

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Entry Level Example

"During my time in clinical rotations on a Med/Surg unit, I had been working with a patient throughout the day that was planning to be released back home by 4:00 pm that afternoon. As my day shift was ending, the physician notified us that due to the fact the patients blood pressure hadn't dropped to an acceptable level, he would have to stay another night for observation. When I was in the room with my preceptor, she gave the news to the patient calmly and explained the reason why it was necessary. While certainly excited to be sent home, he fully understood the reasoning why and took the news well due to her simple delivery of the message."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Answer Example

"As a travel nurse early in my career, my physician received lab results from a young patient found to have a brain tumor. When the patient and family were called in for their consult, the physician and I were both in the room when the news was delivered. In that situation, it is hard not to break down with the family in tears but I knew that they were looking at me to be the person with strength and have answers to their questions. The physician and I were able to walk them through their next steps and options moving forward with their child's diagnosis and they truly appreciated that."

Written by Darby Faubion

1st Experienced Example

"As an urgent care nurse, I saw patients with varying degrees of sicknesses and illnesses. One weekend, a young boy came in with a foot injury from playing in a hockey tournament earlier that day. After the doctor examined him, he was sent to the lab for X-rays. In talking with the boy and his father, they were in town for a hockey tournament and his team had just reached the championship game which was to be played the next day. The boy was so excited and hopeful that he would have just a bruised foot and be able to play. Once the tests came back, it was revealed that he had fractured the outer metatarsal on his foot. The physician delivered the news to the boy that he had fractured his foot and that he would need to leave our clinic in a walking boot and not play the next day. He was devastated. I was then responsible for educating the patient and his family regarding his injury. I explained to him that playing further could damage his foot further down the road and by taking the time to explain why he had to take the course of action he did, both the boy and his father were grateful."

Written by Darby Faubion

2nd Experienced Example

"During a follow up office visit for diabetes a patient had been anticipating beginning an insulin pump. The patient had really been looking forward to this next step and accomplishment in their treatment plan but knew their A1c had to be within a certain range to begin. Unfortunately, the patient's A1c was not in the desired range that the patient and physician had previously set and the patient was not able to start the pump. The physician provided the lab result in a professional manner and I had the opportunity to speak fully with the patient after the physician had completed their portion of the visit. This gave me the opportunity to better understand what was going on in the individual's life that may be negatively impacting their diabetes treatment plan. I was able to provide additional education for the patient about diabetes management strategies and provide them with the support they needed to understand diabetes better and improve their glucose levels."
