let's get into those BAM 5 NHS nurse
interview questions and answers you can
either take notes as I progress through
the tutorial or if you want to watch
from beginning to end I will tell you
where you can download my full set of 20
- BAM 5 nurse interview questions and
answers so the first question of your
band 5 nurse NHS interview is going to
be tell me about yourself and why you
want to become a band 5 nurse within the
NHS so here is my top scoring answer I
am someone who takes great pride in my
work as a nurse and working for the NHS
is a great privilege and an honor there
comes a huge amount of responsibility as
a nurse within the NHS and the qualities
and skills needed to consistently
perform to a high standard are the ones
I feel I naturally possess I am entirely
dedicated to the profession and can be
relied upon to make the right decisions
in the best interests of the patient I
will always take care of my own
professional development
so the treatment I provide is in line
with the NHS values and the code of
conduct and I can also be relied upon to
maintain confidentiality at all times
necessary I am also a great team worker
I will remain calm and composed under
pressure and I have a personal life that
enables me to be flexible in my role as
a nurse and
conditional shifts as and when needed to
help out the NHS team so that is a
rock-solid answer that demonstrates to
the interview panel you fully understand
the level of responsibility that comes
with being a nurse within the NHS and
you are also giving a number of
important qualities and traits that will
enable you to be competent in the role
such as abiding by the NHS values any
code of conduct that's relevant to your
role maintaining confidentiality and
also taking responsibility for your own
professional development and at the last
final statement you are mentioning that
you are able to work additional shifts
which is very important within the NHS
okay second question of your ban five
nurse interview why do you want to work
in the NHS for our trust so why do you
want to work in the NHS here is my
suggested answer this is a good question
of one that I've considered carefully
prior to applying for the role during my
research I studied the NHS trust in
detail and I especially paid attention
to the values you expect your star to
abide by and also the mission in which
you are all striving to achieve now as a
professional nurse I am someone who
takes great pride in my work and the
values of integrity commitment to
quality of care continual learning
compassion and improving lives are also
at the core of everything I do I don't
want to be a nurse for just any
organisation I want to be a nurse for an
organization that cares about people
that wants to continually learn and
improve and has an entirely inclusive
way of operating the values and
ambitions your trust operates by are
very closely aligned to my own which is
the main reason or I want to be a nurse
for this NHS Trust organisation so again
that's a very intelligent and smart
answer because it is focused on the core
NHS values which are very very important
not just to ban five nurses but
everybody who works in the NHS they are
very very important you should I suggest
study them and learn them as well during
your preparation for this interview
question number three what do you expect
to be doing on a day to day basis as a
band five nurse for the NHS so if I was
to say to you what do you do as a nurse
on a day to day basis you would be able
to tell me very quickly but the key part
here is telling them what you would do
on a day to day basis as a band five
nurse so you need to study the job
description and a person specification
to make sure you are fully aware of your
main duties so I put together a response
for you based on a band five notes here
we go
I expect the role to be diverse in
nature and be centered on clinical
responsibilities professional
responsibilities and also training and
education now from a clinical
perspective I will need to carry out a
wide range of registered nurse duties
with a view to providing exceptional
levels of care and assessment I will
need to maintain a safe environment
monitor the care and advice provided by
nursing staff create accurate and
regular contemporaneous notes and also
build solid relationships with all NHS
departments so we can all achieve the
mission of the trust and its objectives
now from a professional perspective I'll
be required to adhere to all guidelines
rules and the code of conduct defined by
this NHS Trust I will also assist in the
development and updating of professional
nursing practices and procedures help
with national initiatives and also
manage my own professional development
and competence finally from an education
and training perspective I'll need to
attend all appropriate training programs
maintain competency levels by completing
key learning outcomes from the
foundation program assist with cascade
training but also help to induct new
members of the nursing team to ensure
the highest standards of competence and
professionalism are maintained at all
times now that is an in-depth response
and it has to be in my opinion when
you're explaining what you will have to
do on a day to day basis as a band five
nurse because I have divided that up
into three different areas first of all
there is the clinical responsibilities
as a nurse the professional
responsibilities and then the training
and education but as I say make sure you
do study the job description for your
particular role so
I get to the point where I say you can
download these make sure you do and then
highlight all of those key areas and
remember to mention them during your
answer to that question so whilst on
that if you do want to download my full
set of 22 ban 5 NHS nurse interview
questions and top-scoring answers
there's a link this appeared in the top
right hand corner of that video when
you're ready if you click that it will
take you through to my website I've
still got a couple of questions to go
through so don't do it just yet
but when you are ready you can click
that and it will take you through to my
site next question has a band 5 notes
you will be expected to abide by the NHS
core values what are these and what do
they mean so there is pretty much
guaranteed to be an interview question
that's focused on the NHS values the
core values so this assesses whether you
understand them but more importantly how
do they interact with your role as a
nurse here we go there are six core
values we all need to abide by within
the NHS these are respect and dignity
commitment to the quality of care
compassion improving lives working
together for patients and also everyone
counts respect and dignity as a nurse
involves treating people as individuals
and gaining an understanding of their
specific needs
priorities and limitations a commitment
to quality of care is exactly that
getting the basics right in respect of
the treatment we provide ensuring
patients are safe maintaining
confidentiality and being accountable
for our actions
compassion is about humanity and
kindness something that is absolutely
fundamental to being a competent nurse
improving lives as a nurse is about
ensuring we make people's lives better
through clinical practice continuous
improvement and also innovation and
working together for patients is simply
working collaboratively with other
members of the NHS and always
remembering to put the needs of the
patient first finally everyone counts
means using the resource we have
available within the NHS to the benefit
of the entire community
we should never exclude anyone and we
have to accept that some people will
need more help assistance care or advice
that demonstrates you know what the
values are and you are also going on to
explain how
important they are and what they mean to
you as a nurse next question your band 5
nurse interview there's a band 5 nurse
within the NHS safeguarding is
absolutely crucial to your work what is
safeguarding and how would you ensure it
is implemented in your day to day
activities here's my suggested answer
the term safeguarding is one that is
always at the forefront of my mind when
carrying out my duties as a professional
nurse the term safeguarding means we do
all we can to protect people's health
their human rights and their well-being
whilst also empowering them to live
their lives free from harm abuse or
neglect as a bamf I'd know it will be my
responsibility to look for signs that a
patient a visitor or someone whom is in
our care is vulnerable or affected in
any of the ways I've just mentioned I
would also be down to me to make sure
all the staff whom I'm responsible for
treat safeguarding as one of their main
priorities and to also raise any issues
in respect of working practices during
staff meetings in fact the NHS has
implemented a safeguarding team to
ensure all staff have the necessary
training education and awareness needed
to be able to perform their duties
competently in respect of this very
important subject there is also a
safeguarding app available which I
always encourage all staff to download
and use as part their daily work the app
supports frontline health care staff and
citizens to provide relevant guidance
and the opportunity to report
safeguarding concerns 24 hours a day we
all have a duty within the NHS to make
safeguarding and top priority and I will
certainly continue to do that in my role
as a band 5 nurse if I'm successful at
the interview today so again a very
in-depth response but that shows that
you understand what safeguarding is you
are aware of two important facts there
is a safeguarding team that's been set
up and there's also an app that you can
download which if you haven't done so I
recommend you take a look at that now
