# Theatre Nurse Interview Questions to Prepare

Healthcare and care interviews focus on safety, compassion and teamwork. These questions often appear for theatre nurse roles.

## Questions

1. How do you prepare for a surgical list?
2. How do you perform the swab and instrument count?
3. What would you do if a count didn't match?
4. How do you support a patient before anaesthesia?
5. How do you maintain sterility?

## What interviewers look for

Patient safety checks are central, so explain them in order. Use a real example for each answer and say what the outcome was for the patient or person you supported.
