- Nursing interviews are pretty challenging and preparation is absolutely necessary. You cannot just “wing” this. In this video brought to you by Relode I will show you how!

Preparation is necessary, below are some notes from the video above. I used these bullet points to create the video. These are from my personal experience, however, If by chance you have any more tips to share, please post a comment so that others can learn too!
If you would like you can also watch this video from a few years ago, which is still pretty good: • New Nurse? How to Ace ...
1. Search very difficult interview questions - you will see a lot of open ended interview questions…. with a little bit of practice you do really well. Most people do not prepare, so when you do, it will show.
Examples of open ended questions and answers are discussed in the video.
- Tell me about yourself - prepare a timeline include your past relevant experiences… i.e. waitressing, relevant medical experience or even family situations that were medical in nature.
- What do you know about our hospital - when you do your research this will be the easiest one to answer. But obviously research is necssary.
- Why do want to work with us? You have to have something positive prepared, I have heard a lot about word of mouth, I compared this to other hospitals ect.
- Questions - how do you deal with customers that are upset? Talk about a miscommunication where you triumph. Nurses are the first, last and middle face of the hospital and customer service over the last few years has become a hot topic.
- Have you ever had a conflict with another nurse or nursing assistant - try to think of a time when you were able to push your emotions aside… is it possible that you approached this the wrong way. Did you attract this? Put emotions aside and try to make the situation better.
- There will most likely be multiple interviewers in the room. These people can be other nurses, nursing directors or nursing administration.
- Don’t be too much in a rush - take a deep breath in and then answer. When you are finished with your answer, stop talking and smile.
- What is the nurse to pt. ratio, are there nursing assistance, do we have such. Avoid this question unless you already have multiple guaranteed job offers. This question can insinuate that when this expectation is not met you will be at the director/managers door complaining.
- You need to go into the interview prepared enough to say that I’m worth $50k right now…. it is very expensive, it is a lot of work. Your training is usually about 3-4 months… prepare as much as you can, you will be happy that you did.
- I can honestly say that I have been hired for almost every job, so your not hearing “theoretical” advice. You may also find it surprising to know that I’m not naturally a great speaker. I mess words up and stumble a lot. However, when I practice, I can do really really well. So even I practice for every interview for weeks. Then… blow them away :)
Thank you for watching and please visit Relode, it was very nice of them to sponsor this video for you and they have a platform that honestly every nurse should be part of.
See you soon my love!

Hi! I am a new grad, I thankfully landed an ICU interview and prepared with a lot of your tips, I wrote down answers to a lot of the questions you gave examples to and practiced for a few days before the interview and went to the interview feeling super confident and natural, two days later they called me and I got the job! Out of 80 applicants I got the cardiac ICU position!!! Thank you for empowering and helping me reach this incredible dream of mine!
Hey just saw your comment, been preparing for interviews as an IEN . I know it’s been a time you would have given that interview but by any chance if you have the answers written somewhere can you plz forward it . Thnx
You are a huge part of the reason why i felt so prepared for my nursing new grad interview. I posted my own video w 24 questions and my prepared answers for a new grad interview on my new channel. I felt like I needed to keep spreading the love to all my new grad nurses out there. Again, thank you for all you do for us!
You helped me study 2 years ago, I forgot to thank you! I graduated last April and got a job as a nurse august last year. Thank you very much!
Watching this video helped me get accepted into a nurse residency program. I was definitely prepared when I went into the interview because I watched this video and wrote down the questions in this video, answered them and practiced several times.
i have a nursing professor for ob class and she smiles and laughs a lot and it caught onto me i cant help but feel so fun and enjoy that class. even when i see her around the department i smile when i hear her voice
seriously this is amazing!!! YOU'VE CALMED ME DOWN SO MUCHHHHH!
Very helpful video. I have an interview tomorrow for a cardiothoracic ICU position and I'm feeling more confident
Great tips. Used all your tips and was offered a telemetry position on the spot 🙌🏻 thank you!!
This is such a great video! So many good tips!
Hi Caroline, I just passed NCLEX-RN, I watched all your videos! I love all! I'm working on my resume, I'm watching this videos helped me a lot thank you so much! I hope I'll get job soon! :)
This video was so good especially the questions to ask the interviewer at the end

Thank you for your tips!
So sensible. I hope ill get that job tomorrow.. :)
Thank you for this wonderful interview questions
This is great!!! I have an interview Monday. . :)
Fantastic video !!! Thanks 🙏
Hi Caroline! I want to thank you so much for making this video! This was such a big help!! I get so incredibly nervous during interviews (even the thought of them makes me nervous) but your approach and style are wonderful! You have a gentle, calming effect!! I was wondering how I go about calming myself down right before walking in for the interview, I feel good in what you said in how to prepare, but I feel I may forget the information if I am super nervous!! Is there any calming tips you have?? Thank you so much!!! : )
Thank you I got job in the observation unit
Could you do a video if you haven't already on what to expect on a med test for a job. I now all jobs will give you one. This is what I am MOST anxious about.What should I expect. Thanks your video are so helpful!!
I subscribed, but didn't receive my basic name badge from reload 😭😭😭. Good news: I got a job offer thanks to your video 😊 Thanks!
Also... i LOVE you! :) your videos are great. I hope to become as confident and knowledgable as you one day.
I could only use this site if I live in the states, right? (I live in Canada.)
Signed up for reload but it does not accept my phone from Canada
do you recommend sending a thank you note/email after the interview? i heard one person say they did not do this but a lot of the information I found on research says that you should.
Thanks for updating this video. I got the job at the hospital with your help! But with only 4 training shifts it didn't work out for me. I got 1 extra shift and it didn't help. I had made two nursing mistakes and was let go. Hoping to be more prepared the next time around since I have one year's experience. ---- my one question for you is what if your training shifts with your nurse buddy is not very helpful? What do you do then? That was something I was faced with. I wanted to switch nurses when I had that one extra shift but was stuck with this one nurse. I know its more professional to stick it out and deal with it (that's why I never asked for a switch). She wasn't supportive and wasn't around often. She was a clinical nurse instructor as well and expected me to be on my A game. I also wish the hospital actually gave a solid 2 full time week's worth of shifts too. Anyways, next time I hope it will work out for me because I love the hospital setting.
Catherine Bui was this a travel job?
What were you're nursing mistakes and what state was this ?
hi please make a video on immunity and HIV I need more understanding on it and your videos help alot
Great 👍👍
Please do video how to increase critical thinking.
+Mizzfm1 will put this on the list! Thanks for letting me know what you want to see 😘

I smiled :)
if you prepare your answers and you know what to say to certain questions, you kind of sound rehearsed. so how do you make it not sound so rehearsed without spontaneously going off a different tangent?
I see what you are saying and ultimately it depends on who is interviewing you. However, from my experience from both being an interviewee and interviewer, most do not mind those who are over prepared, yet may not tolerate under preparedness. So it seems like your odds are better to do everything within your power. By the way, the more you practice your answers (not word for word) the more spontaneous and engaging you can be :)
I have literally bombed every single nursing interview I have had and have not been able to find a job as a nurse. Even the interview I prepared for the most was a disaster. Hopefully these tips help. I'm thisclose to giving up on nursing because mama needs a job to pay off all the student loans I have lol.
Did you end up finding a job??
Hi Gods and monsters how r u doin' now? Did you end up getting a job?
@@doremifasolatido-ro7zs Hello! Yes, I have had several jobs since I posted this lol.
Awesome video
SmileTalking is just me...Lol
How am I supposed to get their attention if im a new grad without experience :'( and have no expertise in anything
Everything you have done up until this moment is experience. Be creative, you have been successful in nursing school which required organization, concentration and resiliency. Did you get good grades in high school and were also a member of a club and or sports team? Did you ever volunteer? Use what you have an elaborate on that. There are many employers who want "fresh nurses" in the sense that they have not been taught shortcuts or the wrong way in doing things. Your inexperience can be your greatest asset :)
take some trainings
I just join relode but it doesn't show in my area in NY :(
Oh MY!!! I am nearing 30 and I'm wearing braces =( I smile but its not like yours lol
I know right.... people who are interviewing you should have a better disposition for you to feel comfortable with. I avoided all that as a provider. I get those expression from my patients more then anything. I understand they are not related but, I don't even the people giving the interview want to be at work. LoL.
Are you still with Relode?
I was consulted to review their product and if I liked it introduce them to you guys...I was never really “with them” though. They seem to have a great platform & I know a lot of people, not just nurses do really well with it 😊
Now don’t worry y’all, this shortage of nurses very easy to get hired now
Hai
How do you answer: How do you like to have fun at work???
Vanessa Livingston How about I like to challenge myself?
Vanessa Livingston Or I create new goals?
whoopie cushions!! Haha just kidding!! I would say something that I truly like that is beneficial for customer service, satisfaction & safety. For example, I love watching biographies, I learn so much from other peoples experiences. So when I'm at work, I love getting to know my patients by talking to them about their lives beyond what is currently going on.
I hope this helps 😘
I would think engaging your patients would be a lot of fun. Getting to know their life stories because everyone has at least one unique, funny, or interesting story. Basically what Mrs. CPT said!
andraacram, that was the answer I actually gave during my interview. My interviewer didn't seem very impressed so I thought I'd ask here for other's input (for my next interview) but I'm glad to know other nurses find fun at work from engaging their patients too!
