In this episode, Kati and two nursing professionals who interview new grad nurses for a well-known accredited nurse residency program walk through four common interview questions. We explore a bad and sub-par response as well as examples of dazzling responses.

The questions we outline are:

  • Tell me about a mistake you have made.

  • What are you most excited about, and what are you looking forward to most?

  • Tell me about a time you went above and beyond.

  • Tell me about a time you received feedback that was hard to hear.
