I've never held a position in nursing before, as I've just graduated with my nursing degree.

Make sure the maternity nurse is ok to share the room with the baby if you do not have a spare room.
21. Tell us how do you prioritize and stay organized on the job?
Sometimes prioritizing in this line of work can be difficult, especially with handling so many critical cases at the same time. I always have to remember to slow down and take a look at the facts before deciding what order to do things in. Those patients with the most critical needs will always come first so I can ensure they're receiving the immediate attention they require in order for their recovery to go as planned. Generally, once I've created my plan, sticking to it is simple. However, I'm always flexible enough to deviate from my self-created plan of action if an emergency arises when I'm on the move.
22. Tell us as Mother baby nurse position, what are your weaknesses?
Turn this question into a strength question in disguise. For instance, say something like “I do not like not being challenged at work” or you could mention a weakness that has nothing to do with the job and that you can overcome with training. This way, you end up turning this potentially tricky question into a positive.
Sometimes, you may be asked about certain challenges you faced in your previous position. If you are asked this question, lean towards the problem that happened early in your carrier and that you were able to solve. Do not try to blame others, just identify the problem and the role you played in solving it.
All these little details are important and if you discuss them from the beginning, you will make sure that both parties will be happy and be able to concentrate on the little one.
Double check if you and the maternity nurse are on the same page when it comes to routines/ sleep training etc.
25. Why do you believe we should hire you in Baby Nursing?
This question needs to be carefully answered as it is your opportunity to stick out from the rest of the applicants. You should focus on skills that you have, including those not yet mentioned. Simply responding “because I'm really good” or “I really need a job” isn't going to work. You shouldn't assume the skills of other applicants or their strengths, focus on yourself. Tell the interviewer why you are a good fit for the position, what makes you a good employee, and what you can provide the company. Keep it brief while highlighting achievements.
26. Tell us what qualities do you need to be a good professional?
Approach this question in three parts. Firstly, think about the qualities you expect from a nurse, and the characteristics you would want from someone caring for you, your child or your family. Think about the additional qualities required by someone working with children and families who may have, for example, a premature baby, an acute or life threatening illness and how you would emotionally cope with stressful situations such as child abuse (safeguarding). Finally, think about core values, such as respect, a sense of equality, and how you can link these in with the job. Use examples from your own life/career to show how you possess these qualities.
You have to be extremely careful about the terms and conditions that each maternity nurse has and make sure you are happy with everything before you sign.
28. Explain me what are your salary expectations in Baby Nursing?
This question is like a loaded gun, tricky and dangerous if you're not sure what you are doing. It's not uncommon for people to end up talking salary before really selling their skills, but knowledge is power as this is a negotiation after all. Again, this is an area where doing your research will be helpful as you will have an understanding of average salary.
One approach is asking the interviewer about the salary range, but to avoid the question entirely, you can respond that money isn't a key factor and you're goal is to advance in your career. However, if you have a minimum figure in mind and you believe you're able to get it, you may find it worth trying.
29. What field experience do you have for in Baby Nursing?
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.
If you are being asked this question from your employer then you can explain your experience. Tell the employer what responsibilities you were performing during your job. You can tell what programs you developed and what modules you worked on. What were your achievements regarding different programs.
I have been working with computers since 2001. I also have a degree in network support/computer repair. I have built my last 3 computers, have work with Dell as an employee. So I have around 15 years experience working with computers.
30. Tell us as Mother baby nurse position, would you describe a typical day in your current job?
As much as you want to sell your self in a good light, do not make the mistake of exaggerating your current position. Add some of your routine tasks to make it realistic and don't neglect tings like paperwork. Try to be in the interviewers shoes as you answer this question. A job you have been doing for years should be part of you already and as such; you must know all the tasks you undertake. Try to show them that you plan well before you begin work and after you attain your goals, you review the process to see how you could be more efficient.
The reason why you are asked this question is to hear what you consider difficult and how you approached the situation. Select a difficult work situation, which wasn't caused by you and can be explained in a few sentences. You can then show yourself in a positive light by explaining how you handled the situation.
You need to make sure that the maternity nanny is happy with either way you choose to feed your baby
Make sure you discuss from the beginning start time, finishing time and breaks so there is no room for misunderstandings later on.
34. Tell us what is your previous experience working with children?
If it's nursery work – mention it by all means. But other types of experience are also welcome instead of or in addition to nursery work. Depending on the type of person you are and your age, valid previous experience could be anything from babysitting during summer vacations to working in the children's sector in a hospital.
I've never really had a problem with any of my coworkers; we all tended to get along. There are those who I sometimes grew frustrated with when we were working together, but I always acted professionally towards them and respected them as fellow employees. They treated me respectfully in return, even when our personal values didn't quite align.
