1.

Tell me about yourself

I am a fast learner and a responsible person. People tend to trust me easily. I am very
good at communicating with both medical personnel and patients. I worked in the
medical field for 8 years. I know the importance of patient care. I have successfully
faced 150 cases of cardio-pulmonary arrest and 7 vehicle extrication. I always try to
improve my skills and learn new techniques in emergency care from other doctors.
2. Why do you want to work here?
I want to learn from the best. Maria Mallaband Care Group seems like an amazing place
to start. It has a history of more than 19 years, was founded in 1996. It has a solid
reputation for high quality homes and services. The company has won two excellence
awards as Global Care Home Operator of the Year in 2012 and 2013. I see myself
perform very well in such an environment.
3. What do you know about the patient population at our hospital?
What services do we provide?
Maria Mallaband Care Group is a leading care home provider for the elderly and
mentally ill in UK. It offers a wide variety of care services, including nursing, dementia,
residential, palliative, disability, personal care, respite, domiciliary, day care and
convalescent. The homes provide a safe and comfortable environment with 24/7 help for
patients.
4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I see myself as a high performing nurse. I will train new staff, mentor the junior nurses. I
will have a very good reputation in this field and a high recognition from my peers.
5. If we hire you, what will you bring to our facility?
I will bring a lot of dedication. I want to work hard and become the best version of
myself. And I know I can. I also have a great desire to save lives, help people in need
and improve their quality of living. Let me give some examples from my job and how it
would be applicable to this. I managed to save a mans life by applying an emergency
technique for cardiac massage that was usually applied by medics in the ER. Time is
very important and I have to make fast decisions on each emergency case.
6. How do you handle stress?
I am very good at working under stressful situations. I can keep my calm and take logic
decisions. To relax, I listen to classical music in my free time. I also like to practice
sports like running, swimming, jiu-jitsu and mountain climbing.
7. How have you handled failure?
I try to learn with each opportunity. I learn from other people's mistakes and from my
own.
8. Why are you leaving your current job?
I want to follow my dream. I think this is a great opportunity. I always wanted to come
to Great Britain. Its a nice country with a great history and a royal monarchy.
9. What did you like and dislike about your previous/current job?
I do not like the traffic conditions. The roads in Romania are in bad shape and there are
many traffic jams. When the ambulance is on a mission, it must have priority in traffic.
Unfortunately, not all drivers respect this.
I do not like it when people bring negative drama to work. I think it brings down the
team, so I try to help them overcome the moment. I try to lead by example, so I leave
everything at the door when I come to work and dedicate myself to the cases. I try to
bring a positive attitude around me and build a good relation with my team.
I like my boss, my co-workers. We work well together as a team. In this field, teamwork
is very important. A good and efficient team can handle the case better and faster.
10. Do you have any questions for me?
What will be the schedule ?
What do you typically offer for new staff?
11. Why do you want to work in this industry?
I love working as a nurse and make a positive impact on peoples lives. My interest in
this field started when I volunteered. Seeing so many people that needed help, inspired
me to choose a job where I can care for others. It is amazing to be able to save lives and
bring a positive contribution to society.
12. What do you think of your previous boss?
I learned from him the importance of time management. He is a very deadline-driven
person. This pushed me to work harder and manage my case work more efficiently.

Immobilize Fractures:
First Aid: Broken Bones
A broken bone, or a fracture, can occur during an athletic competition, accident, or some
kind of trauma. They require immediate medical care.
Signs of a broken bone include :
intense pain at the site of the injury that worsens with movement
swelling, numbness, or bluish color of the injured area
deformity of the limb or joint if the injury occurred in the arm or leg
bone protruding through the skin
heavy bleeding at the injury site
First Aid Care
If the person is unconscious and/or not breathing or moving, begin CPR.
Stop any bleeding. Apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage, a clean
cloth, or a clean piece of clothing.
While waiting for medical care, give first aid treatment for shock if the victim has
symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, pale and clammy skin, shortness of breath,
and increased heart rate. The person should lie quietly with the feet elevated about
12 inches. Cover him or her with a blanket to maintain body warmth.
Immobilize the injured area if you will be moving the victim. Do not move them if
there is a back or neck injury. Make a splint by folding a piece of cardboard or
newspaper or a magazine, then placing it gently under the limb. Carefully tie the
splint to the injured area with pieces of cloth.
Apply a cold compress or ice in a plastic bag to the injured area. Make sure to
place a cloth between the skin and the ice so you dont damage the skin.

Extrication:
Vehicle extrication is the process of removing a vehicle from around a person who has
been involved in a motor vehicle accident, when conventional means of exit are
impossible or unadvisable. A delicate approach is needed to minimize injury to the
victim during the extrication. This operation is typically accomplished by utilizing
chocks and bracing for stabilization and hydraulic tools.
The basic extrication process consists of, but is not limited to, six steps:
the protection of the accident scene, to avoid a risk of another collision (marking
out the scene with cones or flares (not advisable if gasoline is leaking), lighting)
and of fire (e.g. switching off the ignition, putting vehicle in park, disconnecting
the battery, placing absorbing powder on oil and gasoline pools,fire
extinguisher and fire hose ready to use) ;
 patient triage and initial medical assessment of the patient by qualified medical
rescuer;
securing the vehicle, to prevent the unexpected movement, and the movements of
the suspension, either of which could cause an unstable trauma wound or cause
injury to the rescuers; A vehicle should never be moved, it should always be
secured.
the opening of the vehicle and the deformation of the structure (such as removing
a window) to allow the intervention of a first responder, of a paramedic or of
a physician inside the vehicle to better assess the patient and begin care and also to
release a possible pressure on the casualty;
removal of a section of the vehicle (usually the roof or door) to allow for safe
removal of the accident victim, especially respecting the head-neck-back axis
(rectitude of the spine);
removal of the person from the vehicle
In less complicated cases, it is possible to extricate the casualty without actually cutting
the vehicle, such as removing a person from the side door or another part of the vehicle.

First aid maneuvers:

First Aid: CPR
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a lifesaving technique. It aims to keep blood
and oxygen flowing through the body when a persons heartbeat and breathing have
stopped. It involves external chest compressions and rescue breathing.

Steps for Hands-Only CPR

1. Survey the Scene
Make sure its safe for you to reach the victim.
2. Check the Person for Responsiveness
Shake the shoulder and ask loudly, Are you OK? For an infant, tap the bottom of the
foot and check for a reaction.
3. Pump (Locate Hand Position and Begin Compressions)
If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest
compressions. For an adult, push down in the center of the chest 2 inches 30 times.
Pump hard and fast at the rate of at least 100/minute, faster than once per second.
4. Blow (Steps for Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation)
Tilt the head back and lift the chin. Pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow
until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 1 second.

In 2010, the American Heart Association revised its CPR guidelines, announcing that
chest compressions should be performed first, before opening the victims airway. The
new acronym C-A-B (Compressions-Airway-Breathing) now replaces the old A-B-C
(Airway-Breathing-Compressions) model.
In the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, there is still oxygen in the victims lungs and
bloodstream. Therefore, starting chest compressions first (on an individual who is
unresponsive or not breathing normally) can help send this critical oxygen to the brain
and heart without any delay.

5. Check the Heart with an AED

If an automated external defibrillator (AED) is readily available, use this device to check
the victims heart rhythm andif the machine instructsdeliver one electric shock to
the victims heart before beginning chest compressions. If the victim is a child ages 1 to
8, perform CPR first for two minutes before checking the heart with an AED. Also, use
the devices pediatric pads if they are available. An AEDs usefulness in infants under
one year of age is not conclusive or strongly recommended.
Imobiliza Fracturi:
Primul ajutor: oase rupte
Un os rupt, sau o fractura, poate aprea n timpul unui concurs atletic, accident, sau un
fel de trauma. Acestea necesit ngrijire medical imediat.
Semne de un os rupt includ:
-dureri intense la locul de prejudiciu care se agraveaza cu miscarea
-umflarea, amoreal, sau culoare albastruie a zonei vtmate
-deformare a membrului sau n comun n cazul n care prejudiciul a avut loc in brat
sau picior
- os proeminent prin piele
- sngerri abundente la locul de prejudiciu
ngrijire de prim ajutor
Dac persoana este incontient i / sau nu respir sau n micare, ncepe CPR.
Opri orice sangerare. inei apsat pe rana cu un bandaj steril, o crp curat, sau o
bucat curat de mbrcminte.
n timp ce de ateptare pentru asisten medical, da primul ajutor pentru oc n cazul n
care victima are simptome cum ar fi ameeli, slbiciune, piele palid i umed, dificultati
de respiratie, i creterea frecvenei cardiace. Persoana ar trebui s revin n linite cu
picioarele ridicate aproximativ 12 inci. Acoperiti el sau ea cu o ptur pentru a menine
cldura corpului.
Imobiliza zona accidentat dac vei fi n micare victimei. Nu le mica dac exist un
prejudiciu spate sau gt. Face o atel prin plierea o bucat de carton sau ziar sau o
revista, apoi plasarea l uor sub nivelul membrelor. Lega cu atenie atela la zona afectata
cu buci de pnz.
Aplicai o compresa rece sau gheata intr-o punga de plastic n zona rnit. Asigurai-v c
pentru a plasa o crp ntre piele i ghea, astfel nct s nu deteriora pielea.

Descarcerare:
Descarcerare vehicul este procesul de ndeprtare a unui vehicul din ntreaga o persoan
care a fost implicat ntr-un accident de autovehicul, atunci cnd mijloacele
convenionale de ieire sunt imposibile sau nerecomandat. Este necesar o abordare
delicat a reduce la minimum un prejudiciu victimei n timpul Descarcerare. Aceast
operaiune este de obicei realizat prin utilizarea pene i pregtete pentru stabilizare i
unelte hidraulice.
Procedeul descarcerare baz cuprinde, dar nu se limiteaz la, ase etape:
protecia locul accidentului, pentru a evita un risc de un alt coliziune (marcarea scena cu
conuri sau rachete de semnalizare (nu recomandabil dac benzina este scurgeri),
iluminat) i de foc (de exemplu, oprirea contactului, punnd vehicul n parc,
deconectarea bateria, introducerea praf absorbant pe bazine de petrol i benzin,
Stingator i furtunuri gata de utilizare foc);
triaj pacient i evaluarea medical iniial a pacientului de ctre salvator medical
calificat;
asigurarea vehiculului, pentru a preveni micarea neateptat, i micrile de suspensie,
fie ar putea cauza un traumatism ran instabil sau poate cauza un prejudiciu pentru
salvatorii; Un vehicul nu ar trebui s fie mutat, ar trebui s fie ntotdeauna asigurat.
deschiderea vehiculului i deformarea structurii (cum ar fi eliminarea unei ferestre)
pentru a permite intervenia unui raspuns rapid, de un paramedic sau a unui medic
interiorul vehiculului pentru a evalua mai bine pacientului i ncepe ngrijire i, de
asemenea, pentru a elibera un posibil presiune asupra accidentului;
eliminarea unei seciuni a vehiculului (de obicei pe acoperi sau ui), pentru a permite
scoaterea n condiii de siguran a pentru a victimei accidentului, n special respectarea
axa cap-gt-spate (corectitudinea a coloanei vertebrale);
scoatere de persoana din vehicul
n cazuri mai puin complicate, este posibil s ias accidentului fr tiere de fapt
vehiculului, cum ar fi eliminarea o persoan din ua lateral sau o alt parte a
vehiculului.

Primele manevre ajutor:

Primul ajutor: CPR
Resuscitare cardiopulmonara, sau CPR, este o tehnic de salvare a vietii. Acesta are ca
scop de a pstra sange si de oxigen care curge prin corp, atunci cnd btile inimii unei
persoane si de respiratie au oprit. Aceasta implic compresii toracice externe i de
salvare de respiraie.

Pai pentru Maini-Numai CPR

1. Ancheta scenei
Asigurai-v c este sigur pentru tine pentru a ajunge la victima.
2. Verificai persoan pentru Receptivitate
Se agit umr i ntrebai cu voce tare, "Eti bine?" Pentru un copil, atingei partea de jos
a piciorului i a verifica pentru o reacie.
3. Pompa (Gsii mn Poziia i ncepe comprimari)
n cazul n care victima nu este nc respir normal, tuse sau miscare, ncepe comprimari
piept. Pentru un adult, mpinge n jos n centrul de la piept 2 inci de 30 de ori. Pompa
greu si rapid la o rat de cel puin 100 / minut, mai rapid dect o dat pe secund.
4. Blow (Pai pentru gura-la-resuscitare gura)
nclinai capul pe spate i ridicai brbia. Prindei nas i se acoper gura cu a ta si sufla
pn cnd vei vedea creterea piept. D-2 respiraii. Fiecare respiraie ar trebui s ia o
secund.

n 2010, American Heart Association a revizuit orientrile CPR, anunnd c

comprimari piept ar trebui s fie efectuat n primul rnd, nainte de a deschide cailor
respiratorii victimei. Noul OEC acronim (comprimari-Airway-respiraie) nlocuiete n
prezent vechiul ABC (Airway-respiratie-comprimari) model.
n primele minute de stop cardiac, exist nc oxigen in plamani si sange victimei. Prin
urmare, ncepnd cu comprimari piept n primul rnd (pe o persoan care nu rspunde
sau nu respir normal) poate ajuta trimite oxigen critice pentru creier si inima, fr nici o
ntrziere.

5. Verificai inima cu un AED

n cazul n care un defibrilator automat extern (AED) este disponibil, folosii acest
dispozitiv pentru a verifica ritmul cardiac al victimei i-dac maina ncredineaz-livra
un oc electric la inima victimei nainte de a ncepe comprimari piept. n cazul n care
victima este un copil de varsta de la 1 la 8, efectua CPR primul timp de dou minute
nainte de a verifica inima cu un AED. De asemenea, utilizai tampoane de pediatrie ale
dispozitivului n cazul n care acestea sunt disponibile. Utilitatea unui AED la copiii sub
varsta de un an nu este concludent sau recomandat.
