Today I observed the behavioral interviewing approach. They are implementing a new interview process at the hospital. It is composed of 3 separate hour interview with behavioral interview questions. I learned more about HR role of prescreening canidates for interviews.

The night before my clinical the was a code called. The morning in at the am meeting they were discussing preventive strategies. This hospital is not staffed for that level of care. They have a PICU team that observes the children in the ER and on the inpatient floors for increasing signs of distress so that they can be transported to larger hospital downtown before immediate distress occurs.

I was also able to follow the nursing supervisor around in the morning while my preceptor was at a meeting downtown. I got to see what her roll is which was really busy and interesting. She takes care of staffing the unit for all shift so she deals with admission, discharges and sick call in to make sure the floor runs smoothly.
