What are the questions normally asked at an interview for adult nursing?

Hi there!

There are several subject areas that questions can come from so the best advice I can offer is prepare as much as possible!

So your first subject area might be all about you, about your background, why you want to do the course, what motivations have brought you to this career goal? Whether you have any relevant life experience or relevant work experience.

The second subject will probably be based on your knowledge of the course and the career it offers after graduation. Brush up on what the role is and what its challenges are and how you could overcome those challenges.

After that, they could ask you questions based on qualities for nursing such as empathy and care. This might be a situational question where you would have the opportunity to offer them examples to demonstrate those qualities.

Ethics could be covered, you could try researching ethics based questions for nursing to give yourself a better understanding of different situations they could ask about regarding ethics.

Finally, you could get questions based on your future plans and any career goals that you may have. Where do you see yourself in ten years, those sorts of things.

No matter what questions come up, stay calm, stay professional and don't forget most of your answers will be about you and in that case you are an expert!

Hope this helps!
