First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Queensland Health.
Registered Nurse
The interview process involved a group interview where we had to introduce ourselves and remember others' introductions. Then there was a 'Marshmallow and spaghetti' challenge to test teamwork and communication skills. This was followed by a documentation check and a personal interview focusing on common questions, not clinical knowledge.
- Introduce myself to the group, tell them the hobbies, why you are choosing MH nursing and skills want to master in mental health
- Memorize what my groupmate said during their introduction and then tell all people in the room
- Marshmallow and spaghetti - Use the tool provided to make the marshmallow at the top - Tools included: marshmallow, spaghetti, tape, scissors, red rope
Registered Nurse
It was pretty straightforward. I had a panel interview with 3 people. They gave me a few minutes to look over some questions before asking them. I was asked 5 questions in total, covering things like conflict resolution, escalation, and a clinical question. I also got to ask them some questions. They gave me feedback at the end of the interview.
- How do you handle workplace conflicts?
- Can you describe a time you had to resolve a conflict?
- What is your approach to escalating issues?
Registered Nurse
The interview featured a 3-person panel. Everyone wrote down their answers during the interview, which had 5 questions. These included 2 questions about clinical scenarios related to the workplace, one about scope of practice, a conflict resolution question, and an education question.
- Tell me about how you've pursued further education.
