Most students may ask “WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN INTERVIEW TO BE ADMITTED IN NURSING COLLEGES WHILES STUDENTS APPLYING FOR OTHER PROGRAMS DO NOT PASS THROUGH THAT PHASE?”

ANSWER: Unlike Other Programs Offered in institutions, Nursing school is an exception. Since many people apply for every study program in this field (the number of applications often exceeds the number of open spots in a 10 to 1 ratio), and since right personality and attitude are crucial for every good nurse, many schools opt for admission interviews.

It is a reasonable choice, since a face to face interview is the most effective way of understanding your personality, motivation, and attitude to work and life. Let’s have a look how you can ace this interview, and secure your spot in the study program!

LIKELY NURSING/MIDWIFERY INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

There are several nursing training interview questions that are asked during the nursing admission phase. I have gone around all the nursing training and gathered the most asked nursing training interview questions.

For those of you about to go through the nursing interview process. Here is the list of questions and suggestions I have accumulated. I hope this helps everyone.

1 QUESTION: WHO IS A NURSE/MIDWIFE

SUGGESTED ANSWER: “A nurse is a health professional who is trained and certified to give care to patients. Just like other medics, nurses can choose where they want to work and the type of work they want to do by specializing in a preferred field. A nurse is differentiated from other health professions by their scope of practice and approach to patient care. The general role of a nurse is to liaise with physicians, the patient, and the patient’s family and create a plan of care that improves the quality of life for anyone who is ailing. The great part about a nursing career is that nurses can work both independently and interdependently.A midwife is a health professional trained to support and care for women during pregnancy, labour and birth. They help you to stay healthy in pregnancy and, if no complications arise, to give birth with little intervention. Midwives also care for you and your baby in the first few weeks following the birth.” UNMEB Interview Questions and Answers

2 QUESTION: WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A NURSE/MIDWIFE?

SUGGESTED ANSWER: “Nurses are responsible for recognizing patients’ symptoms, taking measures within their scope of practice to administer medications, providing other measures for symptom alleviation, and collaborating with other professionals to optimize patients’ comfort and families’ understanding and adaptation. The main role of a midwife is to prepare women for the delivery of new life and to also provide support and guidance during all stages of pregnancy, throughout the process of labor and also during the early stages of the postnatal stage. It is a role I believe I will excel in, and I fully understand the high levels of responsibility that come with the position.”

3 QUESTION: TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY YOU WANT TO BECOME A NURSE/MIDWIFE?

SUGGESTED ANSWER: “I am someone who takes my work seriously, and I understand there is no room for error in respect of being a nurse/midwife in the undertaking of your professional duties and also in respect of the advice you offer patients during their time under your care. I am an exceptionally hard worker, always remain calm under pressure, i know how to communicate effectively to achieve the desired outcome, and will always uphold the values of the profession. I am extremely caring and compassionate person, but I am also someone who is resilient, confident in my abilities and will always perform to the high standards necessary in my role as a nurse/midwife.” UNMEB Interview Questions and Answers

4 QUESTION: WHAT SPECIALTY WITHIN NURSE/MIDWIFERY INTERESTS YOU THE MOST AND WHY?GUIDED ANSWER:

“Nurse/Midwifery is not a one-dimensional course; there are several sub-divisions and categories within the profession that you can choose from. The interviewer wants to check your dedication towards the field and see how well-informed you are. Revisit your training portfolio and just try to recollect the areas that you found the most interesting and appealing. For instance, you may be keen on learning about community care and education for pregnant mothers as to how to take care of themselves and the baby. Discuss the various areas in nurse/midwifery where you’d want to specialize in to show the employer how versatile and diverse your knowledge regarding the profession is.” UNMEB Interview Questions and Answers
