How do I ask about patient acuity on the unit I’m going to interview for?


September 9th, 2022

Hi there, you'll know mostly based on the type of unit you are applying for. Med/surg, progressive, ICU etc. Thre best way I have found in interviews is to ask what is your patient population like? Or What kinds of disease processes do you treat most often? Generally they will start a dialogue with you about it. I have been in management with hiring experience so I've been on both sides of the conversation. Hope this helps.
