RN NURSING INTERVIEW UPDATED
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Why did you decide to become a nurse?/Why did you pursue a nursing career? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I saw what nurses do when I volunteered at hospitals and when it came the
time when I had to do a career change, I decided to become a nurse. nursing coincides with
my personality and I can put my best characteristics to use. I'm very compassionate and
dedicated and want to serve the public. Also because nurses are challenged and learn
something new everyday, it satisfies my desire to learn and grow.


Give us an example of a situation where you had to deal with a difficult and demanding
patient and what you did. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- I remember one difficult patient who
was constantly complaining to us on the phone and would keep requesting for different aides.
When it was time for nurse visit, I reviewed his case and found out he was living alone in a
senior apartment and all his family were out of state.
During the visit, I assessed his living situation and could tell that he was lonely, possibly
depressed. I made sure he was heard and had good conversation addressing his problems.
Then I referred him to social day care where he can meet new people and socialize.
Afterwards, he was happier.


Why did you choose the particular field of nursing that you are in? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I had a wonderful experience during my community nursing clinical during
nursing school. The public health nurse I worked with was wonderful, caring
I wanted to learn more about community nursing so before I got my nursing license, I got a
job at a home care agency as an office staff and after I got my nursing license, I was hired as
a nurse in that same home care agency. I liked community nursing because I get to observe
and assess patients in their own homes


What kinds of personality traits are most effective for nurses to have? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- In my opinion, the personality traits that make nurses most effective are
patience, compassion, and attention to detail.
Dealing with sick patients is not easy so we need patience and compassion as we guide
patients and family through their bad time. And we need to pay attention to every detail
because we are the last check in patient care. We are directly involved in patient care and
health.


What are the biggest challenges or issues that nurses face today? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
The biggest challenges are safe staffing ratio and workplace safety. Some places have nursing

,shortage that can lead to short staffing and dangerous practices, making workplace unsafe.
This increases the stress on nurses, decreases quality of patient care, and increases the
likelihood of medical errors.


TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- My name is Min Kim. I
graduated with BSN from Hunter College on 2017. I also have a Bachelors in Biology from
Stonybrook University. I decided to get into nursing because Ii like to help and take care of
others. I volunteered at hospitals since high school and those expereicnes gave me the insight
I needed to pursue nursing as a second career. Before nursing, I worked as a bookkeeper and
a cashier so I knoe a lot about customer service and can contribute to patient satisfaction. I
am really interested in community outreach and volunteer work. Last Saturday, I was at a
healthfair volunteering to do glucometer and diabetes screening in Bayside and I have been
volunteering with them for three years in a row. I am looking for an oppourtunity for growth.
And since I was raised and lived in Queens for more than 20 years, I believe NYPQ is an
excellent hospital for me to transition into acute care because NYPQ has serviced the diverse
population in Queens for many years.


Tell me what you know about our institution - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Lenox Hill is part
of the Northwell Health with 250 beds that serves all 5 boros in NYC. It has recently been
recognized as America's Top 100 hospitals for a third year in a row. It is also known for its
innovative medical and surgical treatment especialy neurosurgery, head and neck surgery and
many others. Lenox hill treats ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population and has
made one of its mission community outreach and education. And people around me say it is a
great hospital to work and it treats its employees well


Are you a team player? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Yes, I am a team player because I know
that the best care comes when the entire healthcare team works together.


WHAT DO YOU FIND MOST REWARDING ABOUT BEING A NURSE? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I find helping patients staying healthy most rewarding. Since I work with
elderly, they are faced with everyday problems due to their health conditions and age. I was
able to help them navigate through difficulties and make recommendations to make daily
living easy. Seeing them comfortable and well in their own homes without going into nursing
homes or hospitals were the most rewarding part of my job.


HOW HAS YOUR NURSING TRAINING PREPARED YOU? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
The time I spend in Hunter College trained me with nursing skills and nursing knowledge.
And working at a homecare agency trained me to effectively communicate with patients.

,WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN HEALTHCARE IN FIVE YEARS? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I think that the nursing experience that I will have gained will made me an
excellent clinical nurse. I want to be able to share my knowledge by helping other nurses or
precepting new nurses. And with that experience I want to continue education and become an
adult nurse practitioner.


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PREVIOUS BOSS? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- My
last boss taught me responsibility and independence. He enabled me to work independently
and take upon projects from start to the end.


WHY ARE YOU LEAVING YOUR CURRENT NURSING POSITION? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I am leaving because it's essential that I broaden my nursing experience and
set new goals for myself. So I am transitioning to a hospital setting. I hope to learn new
clinical skills, see how hospital operate and really improve myself as a nurse.


WHAT DID YOU LIKE LEAST ABOUT YOUR LAST JOB? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
There was nothing about my last job that I hated but since I was in home care setting, I was
independent but didnt get much chance to work with other nurses. I learned independence
and responsibility but would have loved to work with other nurses and learn from that
experience


WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS AN ORGANIZED NURSE? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- Yes I would. I like to have a checklist and make sure that each task is
prioritized and completed accordingly. Especially in homecare, there are many paperwork
and different documents to be completed for each patient and keeping on top of them takes
lots of organization.


DO YOU PREFER TO WORK ALONE OR AS PART OF A NURSING TEAM? -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- I like working with a good team because I believe that best care
in a hospital is a team effort and we can depend on each other for support. But working alone
is sometimes required and I have enjoyed the responsibility.


WHEN WERE YOU THE HAPPIEST IN YOUR JOB? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- When I
make a difference in patient's life. When I make home visit, I assess the patient as well as
their living environment and make recommendation that can improve their quality of life.
And seeing that my help makes them comfortable and safe makes me happy.

, WHAT REALLY MOTIVATES YOU? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- What motivates me is
knowing that I always improve myself and recognizing that i can strive to be a better self
while remaining true to my values. Nursing is a lifelong learning process and as long as there
is room to grow, I can use the experiences to move myself forward.


WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR PATIENTS? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I can give them the best care I can. They will know they are not alone and
they are being looked after and advocated when time comes.


HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE A PATIENT WHO COMPLAINS? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I would actively listen and hear their complaints and let them know that
everything is done to make them comfortable. If it is pain issues, I would discuss with the
doctor to see what else can be done alleviate their pain.


HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANY DIFFERENCES WITH NURSES YOU HAVE WORKED
WITH? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- No but I had differences with my coworker at home
care. I needed information about the patient before certain date in order to schedule for home
visit. In the beginning, the care manager I worked with wasn't effecient in relaying that
information to me in right time. He was having difficulty understanding why I needed that
information beforehand. I handled it by having a meeting with him, explaining my needs and
role as rn and creating step by step process together for smooth enrollment transition. From
then, we became good coworkers and would hold regular meetings to ensure everything is
going well on both ends.


HOW DO YOU HANDLE STRESS ON THE UNIT? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- I try to
focus on the patient care and smile and I believe that with my experience and training, I can
remain calm and concentrated in any stressful event.


WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR REPLACEMENT DIDN'T ARRIVE? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- I wouldn't leave my patients without replacement. I'd wait for a decent
amount of time and then talk to my supervisor and offer to stay until they turned up or
someone else was found to fill in for her.


HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH A DOCTOR WHO WAS RUDE? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- If I were to have a doctor that treats me badly, I would bring the question to
my supervisor right away. If the doctor was displeased with me in some way, I would want to
find out so that I could take action to rectify the situation.
