 Tell me about yourself

I’m just finishing up nursing school. I’ve got a 3.99 GPA and I received an Outstanding Undergraduate
Nursing Student Award for leadership and caring. As a precept nurse at Zamboanga Peninsula Hospital, I
received frequent commendations from the preceptor for efficiency. I also maintained 95% positive
evaluations for patient education. I supervised bedsore prevention on my ward, for which my patients
were in the top 98%. Before that I worked as a CNA for two years at Hilldale Nursing Home. My manager
there wants to hire me because of my strong work ethic and the way I interact with patients. I’d love to
work for her, but I’m very excited about being a nurse here at ABC Hospital. Your commitment to
ongoing staff training and patient education fit my skills and drive, and I think I’d really grow in this
environment.

2. Why are you the best person for the job?

I know your primary worry right now is compassionate budgeting. At ZAMPEN, I was assigned to a team
charged with resolving our fiscal issues. We reduced inventory expenses by 15% while enhancing patient
satisfaction. We accomplished this by shifting the stockroom more centrally, which saved time. We also
put common supplies on a use-based renewal scheme. Maintaining standards while decreasing
expenses was a significant accomplishment for me, as patient care has always been my focus.

3. Why do I want do I want this job?

Nursing is my true calling. I like comforting and educating individuals in need, as well as assisting in
tough circumstances. Last year, I was charged with dealing with a difficult patient. I tried my best to
listen and console. "I'll never forget you as long as I live," she remarked as she was departing, and it hit
me that my life was essential to her. That is why nursing is so significant to me. Every day, in subtle and
significant ways, my presence is felt by people in my care.

4.  How has your experience prepared you for this role?

I've had a lot of challenging patients. Handling them is a necessary element of the work. One specific
patient was ranting at everyone, even for trivial issues. Because it being a holiday, I was able to get him
relocated to a private room. After that, I spoke with him and discovered he was upset over a bleak
diagnosis. He didn't have any friends or relatives, and he had no one to talk to. I informed the
hospitalist, and she was able to arrange for a therapist to meet with him. He was genuinely polite after
that. All of the other staff and patients on the ward appeared to be more at ease. There is usually a
reason why someone is tough. Treating individuals with dignity might have unexpected results

5. Why have you left your job?

I am leaving my current nursing position because I am looking for a new challenge, and want to find a
job that will allow me to use my skills and knowledge in a different way. I am also hoping to find a
position that offers more opportunities for growth and development.

6. My greatest strength as a nurse is my ability to connect with patients and provide them with
compassion and care. I am also very patient and efficient in my work. My greatest weakness is that I
sometimes have trouble dealing with the emotional aspects of the job. Seeing people suffer can be
difficult for me, but I am getting better at handling it over time.
