I'm finishing up nursing school and I'd love to land a good job right out of the gate. I don't want to end up at some clinic that pays next to nothing or where I'd have to deal with unruly patients all day, I'm looking to get into a good private clinic. I've heard they have pretty strict requirements though and not everyone makes it through the interview. I want to prepare ahead of time. What do they usually ask at these kinds of interviews?
Private clinics screen differently than hospitals and they can afford to be selective about it. They're not just checking your clinical knowledge, they want to see how you handle pressure, how you talk to patients, whether you'd actually fit the team already in place. The behavioral side is what catches most people off guard because they prep on the medical part and freeze the second something more personal comes up.
