Hospice Nurse Interviews

Hospice Nurse Interview Questions

"When hiring hospice nurses, hospice care facilities will look for nurses who can demonstrate exceptional pain management skills and listening and counseling skills. Hospice nurses must be more in tune with the pain levels and other symptoms of their patients than regular nurses, so you can expect a portion of the interview to focus solely on pain management practices. Hospice nurses are not required to receive certification beyond that of a registered nurse, but it may benefit you to pass the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Certification Exam."

They asked me a few different questions but one question I remember stood out to me was a question about the position itself. They asked if I was nervous about going into other peoples home and potentially getting called in the middle of the night to visit a patient who passed. They also asked me to tell them about myself.
