why you think you will make a competent
nurse okay so this answer is based for
anybody whether you have any prior
experience of being a nurse or you're
just going for your first nursing
position this response will help you
okay here we go
first and foremost i am totally
dedicated to patient care and i find
this element of the role the most
rewarding i am naturally a caring person
and i enjoy being in a role where i get
the opportunity to make a difference
through both the treatment and care i
provide and also through educating
patients to help them lead better lives
i will make a competent nurse because i
am thorough in both my approach to care
and assessment i am able to follow
strict rules and procedures i have a
passion to continually learn and develop
and i'm also someone who can work hard
under pressure and respond positively to
the challenges the nursing role presents
itself i feel confident that if you
employ me within this nursing position
you will be impressed with my strong
work ethics and my ability to contribute
positively to the nursing team so that's
a pretty solid answer that can be used
during any nursing interview and i'd
encourage you to use it now and you're

please do carry on watching the video
because i'll tell you where you can

an entire bunch of 21 nursing interview
questions and answers as i progress
through the tutorial okay let's move on
to the second question of your nursing
interview tell me what you know about
the role of a nurse now obviously
you're qualified as a nurse you should
know what is involved but let's break it
down to the key elements that will
impress the panel
as a nurse i will be required to carry
out many tasks including the assessment
the planning and the evaluation of
patients condition their care and their
treatment i would need to maintain
confidentiality at all times keep
accurate records and also follow strict
policies rules and operational protocol
further responsibilities include keeping
a safe environment for patients and also
prioritizing patient care and treatment
especially during intense periods when
it is particularly busy i would always
need to maintain accurate
written records and contemporaneous
notes whilst using effective
communication skills to deal with a
variety of situations finally i will
need to always carry out high standards
of quality nursing care abide by the
sixties of nursing and follow the
organization's values at all times
whilst helping to develop and implement
national initiatives aimed at improving
quality of care standards and efficiency
and that's a great answer that you can
use to construct your own based on your
own knowledge and experience of the
nursing role let's take a look at
another nursing question how do you
handle the stress of being a nurse and
all that comes with the job so how do
you handle the stress of being a nurse
and all that comes with the job here we
go here's my sample answer the first
aspect of dealing with the stress of the
nursing job is to understand exactly
what is involved in the role the
environment you'll be working in and
also the situation most patients will
find themselves in the nursing role
requires you to work in a pressurized
environment whereby people are often
anxious and under stress based on their
illness or their upcoming treatment on
that basis
you have to understand that people are
not their normal self and you have to
take this into account when helping them
caring for them and also treating them i
naturally have a calm nature and i will
not be put off by stressful situations
whereby i have to perform under pressure
i can handle the stress of the job
because i believe i am a strong
communicator who has the confidence in
my own abilities the truth is i would
rather work in a pressurized and
stressful environment because it because
it is times like these where i can
really put my skills and experiences to
good use so that's another solid answer
now i'm going to give you another
interview question and answer in a
second but if you want to download all

top right hand corner it will take you

minutes from now next question what
parts of the nursing position will you
find the most enjoyable and which parts
will be the most challenging so this is
assessing your knowledge of what the
role will be like both the good parts
and also the difficult and challenging
part so here's my suggested answer to
this question
i will find dealing with and treating
patients the most enjoyable although
some of the patients i will deal with
will be under pressure and stress i feel
the most enjoyable aspect will be seeing
them get better and also helping them to
lead more healthier lives through
education and information i also feel i
will find working with the nursing team
an enjoyable aspect to the role as you
will get to build long lasting
relationships with people whom you can
trust and rely on when you are working
under pressure within the role of a
nurse in respect of the most challenging
this will be when dealing with patients
who are under the influence of drugs or
alcohol and also those patients who
refuse to take responsibility for their
own health however whilst these will be
the most challenging aspects of the
nursing role i will always look upon
these as an as an opportunity to put my
people skills and communication skills
to the test i am a confident person who
can deal with the difficult and
challenging aspects of the nursing role
and i will always carry out my duties
with a positive attitude and a
professional approach so again
and that is a strong answer to that
question and demonstrates that you know
what will be the most enjoyable part so
you can put your skills to the test but
also the challenging ones but that you
have a positive mindset when dealing
with those as well now don't forget if
