So I received my certificate and license and an official OT! But my first interview really kicked me down hard. It was at an acute care bedside hospital that was willing to take in new grad and train for a 3 month probation period. I thought would be a perfect job for me since I wanted more learning from a senior therapist before officially being on my own.
I didn't really know what to expect for the interview so I prepared answers for standard interview questions. But they asked me a lot of clinical questions such as- give me a short term goal for a pt with recent CVA, which stroke is the worst stroke?, are you familiar with x,y,z lines at ICU? at which bp should you stop working with a pt? and more. It really caught me off guard and I nervously bombed the interview. (There were more questions that I can't remember now)
Does anyone else have any experience with the acute care setting interview questions? Specifically clinical case scenarios?
Also what other interview questions have you gotten from hospital setting? How did you prepare for the interview?
Thanks in advance!
