The Most Commonest Asked Nursing Interview Questions

 

COMMON NURSING INTERVIEW MISTAKES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM

 

Nursing Interview is one of the major process of getting admission. So if you apply and you pass, you’ll get admission into your preferred school. But there are some mistakes that most of the applicants make which makes them not to get admission. So today, we’re going to learn about some of the Common Mistakes which most of the applicants make and How To Correct Them

Firstly, one of the commonest mistakes made is *Dressing Inappropriately*. Most of the applicants dress any how to Nursing Interview. And you cannot dress anyhow and go in for Nursing Interview. Some applicants especially girls wear trousers and short uniforms which disqualify them immediately they get in. There are some dresses that are known for Nursing Interview. I’ll show the pictures to you later. In other side, many boys too wear Jeans trouser as if they’re going to parties. They dress like people who are on streets. The dressing disqualify most of the applicants. And for the boys, I’ll show pictures to things to wear when going for the Nursing Interview…… Last year, the dressing has disqualified most of the applicants. So be careful about the kind of dressing you make to the Nursing Training Interview.  I’ll show you the accepted dressing to Nursing Training College later.

Secondly, one of the Commonest Mistakes made is *Neglecting your Hygiene*. Most applicants don’t look good whenever they come in for the interview. This alone disqualifies most of them. They don’t cut down their hair. Sometimes they cut it but they have some designs in it. It’s never done. Don’t cut hair and do design in it. They also have long nails, refusing to Iron their dress and most importantly, they smell very bad. We’re not saying you should use those hard perfumes on your body before coming to the interview. We’ll disqualify you when we find out. Just smell good. Sometimes, some patients have asthma and using hard perfumes will make their situation very bad. Just smell good. These mistakes mentioned above really make most of the applicants to be disqualified although they pass the interview successfully.

Thirdly, one of the mistakes is going to the interview very *Late*. Punctuality really matters a lot in Nursing. Most applicants come to the interview very late. This makes them not to have chances to be interviewed. If you’re far from the place you’ll be having the interview, come the day before the interview. This will make you to have time and arranged things down well.

Another mistakes made is *Forgetting the documents* Some applicants forget their documents when coming to the interview. If you forget the documents, why are you at the interview?….. The documents are very very essentials. They’re the first thing that’ll be asked when you’ve entered into the interview room. They’re the major documents. Because they’ll be listed in the interview message you’ll receive.

Also, another major mistakes made is *Not turning off your phone or putting it on silence*. This alone makes most of the panelists to get angry. Because it doesn’t shows any atom of respect. Putting your phone on loud speaker 🔈 when interviewing and call comes really get the panelist angry. Just put your phones on Silence or switch it off so that your interview can be successful. This will make you to have the chance in getting admission into the Nursing School.

Can you name some of your qualities that would benefit you as a nurse?

And is there anything you would like to improve on?

• What you say does not necessarily have to reflect in your interview presence-they understand that you experience stress, and cannot show them all your best cards. But you should believe that you have what it takes to become a great nurse-one day On the other hand, humility can make wonders in the interviews. People in the interviewing committee prefer to choose humble students, people who are aware of their imperfections, people who believe that there is always room for improvement, and that learning never stops..

What do you consider the most challenging aspect of nursing?

• The answer to this question is very personal. I knew nurses who got emotionally attached to patients, and suffered terribly when their beloved did suffer, or when they died. But I also knew nurses who simply hated night shifts, and struggled to cope with the schedule of their job.

And what do you consider the most challenging thing?

Nursing studies are hard and time demanding.Are you ready to handle that? What are you willing to sacrifice?

• You shouldn't wear pink glasses in this interview. In average, 25% of students do not manage to graduate from nursing school.

Seems like a high number? Well, they do not always drop out because of failing in exams.

Reasons range from getting pregnant to not having money to continue. Show the interviewers that you understand it will be difficult to succeed, and that you expect to devote most of your time to studies.You can also say that you talked to other students, who helped you to understand what will be expected from you at school, and how challenging the experience will be.

We have quite a lot applicants for this nursing program.

 Why do you think we should choose you, and not some other applicants?

• Another tough nut to crack. Basically you have two options. One of them is listing your abilities and strengths that make from you a perfect applicant for a study program.Anotherone consists in humility, saying that you do not really know, that you have a strong desire to work as a nurse, but can't tell whether you are better than the other applicants for the study program, since you have not met them in person...

You can also explain them in your own suitable meaning

Do you have any role model in life?

• You can go with some famous nurse, such as Clara Barton, or Edith Cavell. You can also opt for one of the charity figures, such as Mother Teresa.Another alternative is to pick someone who's close to you, someone who works in healthcare and does a good job every day (your father, your uncle, a good friend of you, etc).

You can search your own famous nurse and use his or her name and make sure you read about them well

Do you watch trends in the industry?

What caught your eye lately?

Except of studying, what do you plan to do while being at the college?

How do you handle stress?

• Your friend Jason hasn't come to class for a few days. Being a hardworking student, he very seldom skips classes.You know that he is applying to nursing schools in the past several weeks.You called his house and he said you could visit him.Enter the room and talk to Jason...
