Overview

What is a CBI?

A competency-based interview is a practice tool that assesses your knowledge, skill and judgment to help you identify areas of strengths and areas of practice improvement.

What will I be asked to do?

In the interview, you will be asked to describe a recent situation or client case and discuss your actions and the results/client outcomes. You may also be asked to complete a client record review.

Please review the CBI guide for RNs and RN (NP)s for further CBI information.

Deferral

In order to engage in the competency-based interview, you must be working. If you are referred and are not currently working, you will need to complete the deferral form. Once you return to work, you must notify the College immediately.
