THE NURSING PANEL
Forty-five minutes with an AI nurse manager who asks why this work, for real situations, and how you would think through clinical scenarios, then takes your questions. Thirty minutes for CNAs, medical assistants and technicians. Then a report with the nurse manager’s write-up.

Nurses and residents sit the longer panel round. CNAs, medical assistants and pharmacy technicians usually meet one manager for a shorter talk. Pick the one you have booked, or drill one scenario for your level in five minutes.

Practise the patient care interview5 minutes
One scenario for your role and level, and two follow-ups on what you check first and who you tell.
How you thought it through, step by step, and one fix. Judged on the order you think in, never on clinical answers.
Included with Pro: 3 drills a day, shared with every kind of drill. No interview credits used.
Drill a nursing scenarioTHE 45-MINUTE ROUND, MINUTE BY MINUTE
The nurse manager says who usually sits on the panel, then describes the unit, its shifts and its orientation.
One real reason you do this work, and what draws you to this unit or setting.
A time you disagreed with a coworker or a provider: what you said, and what it meant for the patient.
A patient who is getting worse. The panel listens for the order you think in, not the right answer.
What happened, who you told, what happened for the patient, and what you do differently now.
Several patients who need you at once. Say who you see first and why, and what can wait.
One more real situation, told in about 90 seconds, with what changed afterwards.
A safety question about a colleague, then what you need from a unit to do your best work.
Ask about orientation, ratios and the unit’s culture. Then the next step, usually a peer interview.
WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED
Panels mix real situations with clinical scenarios. In the 45-minute round, your nurse manager asks three situations and two scenarios. The 30-minute round asks two of each and a schedule question. Scenarios are picked for your license level, so a CNA is never asked an RN’s scenario.
AFTER THE ROUND
Whether you check the patient before you act, name what comes first and stay within your role.
Who you see first and why, and what you say can wait.
Who you would tell and how, with a structured handoff such as SBAR, and what you would write down.
Whether you tell the patient or the family what is happening, and speak up for them.
A mistake owned and reported, and what changed in your practice since.
A disagreement sorted out with the patient first, not a story about who was wrong.
One real event with the patient’s outcome, in about 90 seconds.
AN EXAMPLE
Safety: assessed before acting. 'I'd go to the patient and check them before I do anything else.'
Prioritisation: saw the patient short of breath first and said why; asked a colleague to watch the one waiting for transport.
Escalation: named the charge nurse and the provider, and gave a short SBAR handoff.
Empathy: told the family what was happening and what would come next.
Ownership: caught a near-miss on a dose, reported it the same shift and now reads the order back.
Teamwork: worked out a disagreement with a provider by asking what they were seeing.
Readiness for the peer interview: Ready, because every scenario started with an assessment and ended with a handoff.
No. It is graded on the order you think in: assess before you act, name the priority, escalate to the right person, stay within your scope. The report never gives clinical advice.
Yes. Choose the 30-minute round and your license level. The scenarios change to ones your role faces, such as a resident who refuses care or a patient afraid of needles, and it asks about your schedule.
It is one voice. The nurse manager says that an educator usually joins the panel, and asks the panel’s questions too, so you practise the same questions in the same order.
The behavioral interview is stories only. This round adds clinical scenarios, a safety question and your questions about the unit, and the report scores safety-first thinking. See every interview.
Many units follow the manager with a peer interview of two or three nurses. Your report names it as the next step and what to bring to it. Read what the panel writes down.
The one you type. Tell it med-surg, ICU, the ED, long-term care or a clinic, and the brief and the scenarios fit that setting.
