HLT51607 Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled/Division 2 Nursing)Section 3 – Interview Question Bank and Recording Sheets
Section 3
Interview Question Bank and
Recording SheetsThis section contains questions the Assessor may ask the candidate while documenting their conversation during the RPL interview.
Assessor’s InstructionsIt is not intended that every question for each competency be asked or discussed during the conversation. Only questions related to those competencies that the initial documentary review has failed to fully address are required.
Each question provides key points to look for in the candidate’s responses. You may wish to use these key points to formulate questions of your own, contextualise, or rephrase the suggested questions to suit the candidate’s particular work situation.
On the Recording Sheets, place a tick next to each key point as it is addressed by the candidate during the conversation. By doing this, you are recording what you have heard the candidate say during the interview.
Use the Assessor’s Comments section next to each question to provide further details about the context of the discussion or other key points and examples the candidate has discussed that may be relevant in confirming competence.
It is important to remember that the notes taken during the questioning interview are important evidence and should be retained as part of the candidate’s assessment records.
