CH15 Case Study - Sara is interviewing for a new position

CH15

Case Study: Interviewing

Sara is interviewing for a new position in a different facility from where she previously worked. She has not had to interview for a job since she graduated from nursing school and received her first and only position, where she worked for eight years. Sara is interviewing with Jeri Johnson, the nurse manager of the CVICU at Memorial Hospital. Jeri is fairly new to her position and has had little experience with leading the interview process.

Instructions:

1. Read the Case Study above, and then answer the questions below:

a. How does a nurse manager or nurse-recruiter prepare for an interview?

b. What kinds of questions are off-limits to an interviewer by law?

c. What kinds of questions do you personally believe to be ethically or morally wrong?

d. Since Jeri is not very adept at interviewing for applicants, what steps can she take to compensate for her lack of experience?
