Icu nurse Interview Questions

I use a brain sheet I made myself in nursing school

Hardly ever. I have been very fortunate to be young and in good health.

I gave my experience as a strength .

I said you call for a teammate's help and begin to bag the patient if they are not on the vent. If they are on the vent, check the connections, trouble shoot the vent and then bag if necessary.

I subscribe different nursing journals. I've been reviewing current NCLEX questions. I subscribe to Medscape for Nurses.

I worked as a nurse for 6 years

I discussed that there are both internal and external customers. Internal customers being the various ancillary services, doctors, pharmacists, etc. That these internal customers are as important as the external customers. I then detailed a problem with a family member who felt that the patient's care was delayed due to the time between the test was completed and the doctor discussing the results with them. I listened, repeated and verbalized my interpretation of the issue to make certain that what was being said was what I understood the problem to be. I then explained the test, how the results were compiled and reported to the MD, who would then discuss the particulars of the case with any specialists to devise a precise plan of care for the patient. It was that process which,m though it may seem like a long time to get an answer, was being given a more complete answer and plan on what was next. That satisfied the family member.
