The Meaning Behind Stupid Nursing Interview Questions
Jeff Hindenach | NursingLink
If you’ve been in the nursing game long enough, the same lame questions will manage to show up in interview after interview. Where do you see yourself in five years? What’s your greatest weakness? You know, the small-talk questions that fill up the time between the really important questions.

We’ve put together a list of the seven “stupidest” interview questions to help you discover their underlying meanings.

I have heard many of these questions and even seen them on applications. But I just answer as honest as I can.

I have heard these questions many times. The ones I hate are the experience quetions "Tell me about a time when you disagreed with a co-worker and how you handled that" yikes! who can think something like that up quickly? Who really has disagreements with co-workers? We discuss things through, not disagree. The worst interview I ever had was about ten of those type questions and I just wanted to run, not walk far from that employer. I would never want to work there after she grilled me like that. Awful.

Very nice explanation, but I have doubt if we tell honestly the reason for leaving previous job, whether present employer will place the candidate in suitable post based on his educational background, work experience other than the last job., I am not sure., let me read more about this but it is convincing explanation what the article mentioned., good one
