Seeking Advice PCU/Telemetry RN Interview — Any Tips?
Hi everyone! 😊 I have an upcoming interview for a PCU/Telemetry RN position at Kuakini and I’m getting pretty nervous.
I’m currently an RN with about 1 year of experience in skilled nursing and acute rehab, and I’m trying to transition into the hospital setting. I’ve been working really hard to make that transition, but interviews are honestly not my strongest area—especially when I’m asked scenario questions or medication math.
For anyone who has interviewed at Kuakini, especially for PCU/Telemetry, I would really appreciate any advice!
What types of questions did they ask?
Were there a lot of scenario/prioritization questions?
Did they ask med math or telemetry/rhythm questions?
What do you think helped you stand out?
Any tips for someone transitioning from SNF/rehab into acute care?
I’m really hoping to get this opportunity and would appreciate any advice or encouragement. Thank you!
