ICU RN INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 

Congratulations! I remember that feeling it was amazing. It’s going to be fought but very exciting and rewarding.

Congratulations! its amazing! I love seeing when people getting in ICU as new grads! can you share your experience?

Thank you so much, yes that is what I am hoping will happen to me

Hi Kayla, same things happened to me. Don’t feel discouraged and don’t be inpatient. That is how you end up in a job that you don’t like don’t enjoy going to work.

Please is your ADN program accreditted

hey Lisette a video is up with an ICU update, go check it out. thank you for the support

Glad I could help

Thank you Ashley, and congratulations on becoming a nurse. Please don’t stop pushing toward your ultimate goal. I never thought it would be possible to start in the ICU or at least i assumed I would get there someday. Everything happens for a reason. You will end up in the ICU and you’re going to love it. Good luck 🍀

Yess 🥰🥰 thank you very much

omg puggy 🥰🥺

Hey Sophia. Don’t feel discouraged, remember everyone has a different timeline and everything happens for a reason. I know it’s hard to not compare yourself but just know that what is meant for you will come no matter what

Thank you so much

Hi, so this is a great question and I remember having the exact same question before starting. I will soon be making a whole video on this topic. But to give you a small explanation, I usually prefer to get my my three days back to back. On my first day I sleep from 3-6 pm and get a good nap and I am usually fine to work my whole shift without getting tired and then I come home sleep till about 6 pm for my second and third shift. The day after my third shift I go to bed right when I get home and sleep till about 1 pm and then spend the rest of my day awake and go to bed again around 11 pm. It’s a bit difficult to explain but I’ll make a thorough video soon. I don’t find it difficult to rotate between day and night anymore. In the beginning it was tough but once you get a hang of how much sleep you need to feel rested you get used to it. Sorry it’s hard to explain but hopefully this helped a bit.

Hi Aileen, yes should be the same one. It is very challenging and intimidating at times but I absolutely love it

Good luck on your interview! You’re going to do amazing!

Hey sorry for the confusion, what I meant to explain was that my friend was not applying for a nurse residency and they asked her a lot more clinical questions that they did not ask me when interviewing for a nurse residency program.

For my friend it was a different experience, she never applied online to the position. She went in person to a facility that hires a lot of new grads out of school. I applied to lots of those positions that said experience required and never got a call back

Hi Starry, I’m sorry to hear that. These times have gotten in the way of so many things. I know people who were hired without clinical experience in the ICU. I would say just have a great resume and still apply. Don’t let that stop you from at least trying. Good luck and I hope everything works out

@@TheTavFam Thank you!

I am not sure why she felt that but the person who was interviewing me told me that. New grad ICU programs will look into your past experience. Do not settle for med surge, keep on looking and applying. ICU does hire new grad for the ICU under the new grad program. Good luck

Hey, thank you so much yes I will be doing one very soon. Unfortunately I don’t really use Instagram anymore

Hey nadiaashley a new video is now live with an update on how things are going, hope you enjoy. Thank you for the support

Thank you

Good choice, there is nothing like training at an ICU, once you work there you can get a job anywhere

@@TheTavFam ok, so changed up i got a home health job working weekends with als patient, really good experience, and second job start next week at a VA hospital

Great opportunity getting a job at the VA, you see state of the art technology there that isn’t available to civilians and also great benefits. Either way congratulations! I hope you love your two new jobs

Where

Don’t be, im sure it went amazing

hey Bel a a video is up with an ICU update, go check it out. thank you for the support

this is in Florida, most hospitals here require a ban or experience, unless you get into a residency program like I did

@@TheTavFam hi. What city in florida you're in and what specific hosp? Do u have any clue if they are hiring bsn grads with gaps in their hosp experience? Thanksss

This was in Miami in an HCA facility, I am not sure I no longer work in that facility

Welcome, yes we need to sign a two year contract

@@TheTavFam I have my interview this wed.. any last min question I need to ask ??

I agree

kala update is up, hope you enjoy

hey Roxanne a new video is up on my channel

Starry a new video is up with a new update, enjoy

Congrats Jessica! I am so excited for you. I would say review critical thinking, that is number one and prioritizing. Just go over general information. You will learn the majority on your training. Good luck I’m sure you are going to do amazing
