To prepare for an adult nursing interview in the NHS, practise talking through real ward situations out loud: a deteriorating patient and NEWS2, sepsis, falls, pressure ulcers, medication errors, end of life care, discharge planning and how you would run a busy shift with a healthcare assistant. Panels for Band 5 and Band 6 posts will also explore your motivation, the NHS values, the NMC Code, safeguarding, confidentiality and how you raise concerns, so prepare honest examples from placements or practice that show safe escalation and kindness under pressure.
