Real Q&A from a hired new grad nurse. These are the real interview answers she gave from her practice session with a hospital interviewer at a top 10 U.S. hospital.
She got the job! Tell her thank you for sharing her answers! We decided to not show video of her speaking to respect her religious practices. It was very fun learning from her the differences between nursing in Australia vs the US.
