Technical Behavioral

The interview felt like a pop quiz, with lots of questions about medications, restraints, and different scenarios. It was concerning that they wanted me to accept an offer without letting me see the unit, which is why I won't be accepting. There seems to be high turnover, with about 5 new nurses starting every week.
