50 Baby Nursing Questions and Answers:

1 :: Tell me will you be happy to take directions from me if my ideas will be different from yours from time to time?

Again, a very important question, because some maternity nurses are stuck in their ways, so unless you want one who takes complete charge and you are happy with that, you need to make sure she is flexible and she will listen to the way you want things to be done etc.

2 :: Tell us are you happy to give the family some ‘alone time with the baby’ ‘family time’?

If this is what you and your family wants, make sure this is discussed from the beginning as otherwise it can be a bit awkward to have the maternity nanny around every time you want some alone time with your little bundle of joy.

3 :: Tell us a good decision you made and a recent decision that wasn't good. What did you do differently in making these decisions?

Your answers should focus on how well you can review relevant facts, consider various options and select the most appropriate option. Discuss how you factor in variables such as constraints and resources.

4 :: Explain me as Mother baby nurse position, what is your greatest accomplishment?

This is just like the “what is your greatest strength?” question and should be treated similarly. You should pick accomplishments that show that you have the qualities the company is looking for and this adds value to you as a candidate for the position you are interviewing for. You may have achieved a lot over the years but for the sake of the interview, pick only the relevant ones

5 :: Tell us do you feel it’s important to keep up with the latest news and information in the medical field? If so, how do you plan to do so?

Keeping up with news and information that pertains to your job is crucial in any industry, but especially the medical field, as it can impact how we care for our patients and change what we can and cannot do in a legal sense. I always try my best to stay up to date with what’s going on by viewing programs and reading magazines that are dedicated to this line of work. I also keep an eye and ear out while on the job to check for any potential changes in policy that might occur that I should be aware of.

6 :: Tell me what have you done to improve your knowledge for newborn nursery nurse in the last year?

Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.

7 :: Tell us do you believe you have the qualities a nursery nurse needs?

Do not hesitate to answer positively, but in a thoughtful manner. Nursery nurses are people who are able to relate to children and communicate with them effectively. They have patience and can adapt to the children’s behavior, moods, and tantrums. Nurses are playful and lovable.

8 :: Tell me this line of work can be stressful sometimes. How do you keep calm?

While I’m on the job, I try not to let the stress of my duties get to me. Completing my job and doing it well is always my top priority, as it always should be when dealing with medical patients. I simply take a deep breath, prioritize and move forward so that I can finish the projects at hand without being buried beneath the stress. When I’m off the clock, I can worry about shaking off the worries of the day on my own time.

9 :: Explain me as Mother baby nurse position, how would your co-workers describe you?

Questions such as this one are asked with the aim of getting you to discuss some of your qualities, perhaps hidden that you wouldn’t have mentioned if you weren’t asked.

“Well, my colleagues will tell you they can count on me. They will tell you that I am a team player and someone they enjoy working with.”

10 :: Can you tell us why did you choose your specialty area of nursing?

Whether the area of specialization is ER, Occupational Health, Community Health, ICU or any other, the key to answering interview questions about your nursing career choice is to be very specific about why you chose it. What influenced you in your choice? How did you explore your options? Highlight how your strengths are best utilized in this area and how it suits your personal competencies.
