Pediatric Nurse
Here’s the FULL LIST of PEDIATRIC NURSE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Why do you want to be a Pediatric nurse?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“A career as a pediatric nurse appeals to me for a number of reasons.
I am at my best when I have significant responsibility, and I am confident that caring for sick children to the highest possible standard will provide me with immense professional fulfilment.
To be a great pediatric nurse, you must understand that every child is a unique individual and adapt your approach accordingly to each child’s specific needs. I fully recognize that every child’s situation will be different, and each case will require varying degrees of support.
As well as being great with children, I am also a highly skilled medical professional and cannot think of a more worthwhile vocation to dedicate my skills and training to.
Finally, I want to work as a pediatric nurse as I want to work in a role where I know I am making a real difference in people’s lives. For example, I know how important it is to go out of one’s way to put a smile on the faces of the children and parents who are going through a hugely difficult time.”
Q2. What parts of the Pediatric Nursing position will you find the most enjoyable, and which parts will be the most challenging?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I find dealing with and treating patients the most enjoyable. Although some of the patients I work with can be very unwell, I feel the most enjoyable aspect is watching their recovery as well as seeing a smile on their and their parent’s faces.
I find the most challenging aspect of this pediatric nursing role to be caring for the children whose conditions are terminal and seeing the anguish this causes the child’s loved ones.
As someone who is empathic, nurturing, and caring by nature, I always utilize my interpersonal skills to the maximum in these situations and will do my utmost to care for the child and their loved ones in any way they need.
Although it can be upsetting, I have a duty to put the patient first, and this motivates me even more to provide the highest of standards of care possible.
I am a confident individual who is capable of dealing with the difficult and stressful elements of pediatric nursing, and I will always carry out my responsibilities with a good attitude and a professional demeanor.

PEDIATRIC NURSE JOB INTERVIEW TIPS!
The following five tips will help you ace your next pediatric nursing job interview. Read them carefully in preparation for your interview!
TIP 1
You must have great communication skills in order to be successful in your pediatric nurse interview. In doing so, you’ll demonstrate to the interviewer that you’re a professional, responsible nurse who is capable of working and communicating effectively with parents, carers, and other hospital staff.
TIP 2
During your pediatric nurse interview, you will be asked a range of situational, hypothetical, and personality-type interview questions. The best way to demonstrate that you have the qualities and expertise necessary for this position is to answer “situational” questions with examples from your own experience.
TIP 3
Ahead of your interview you should consider examples of when you have demonstrated the six C’s of nursing. These include communication, care, courage, competence, compassion and commitment. All six qualities are essential to be a great pediatric nurse and so you are likely to be asked about them during your interview.
TIP 4
Interview questions for pediatric nurses often focus on how candidates would handle a child with challenging behaviour. As you will be working with a diverse range of children of all ages who will be going through a particularly challenging period, you will likely encounter children exhibiting challenging behaviours.
TIP 5
Maintain a friendly, positive, and confident demeanour during the whole interview. This is because hospitals only recruit staff they know will be kind and supportive of the children in their care.
Within the Pediatric Nurse Interview Questions and Answers guide, which is available to download on this page, we will provide you with over 21 sample Pediatric Nurse interview questions and brilliant suggested answers to help you pass!
