what do we need to cover during this
tutorial well the first thing is we need
to make sure that you demonstrate the
following skills and qualities during
your answers to your band 6 nurse
interview these are demonstrating an
ability to provide and facilitate
exceptional levels of patient care at
all times also an ability to focus on
delivering the nh-2 NHS trust values in
everything that you do and I strongly
recommend you download a copy of the NHS
trust values who you're applying for and
you read them and recite them during
your answers to the interview questions
also an ability to perform and
concentrate under pressure being able to
deal with difficult incidents and
situations whilst and this is important
following your training and the
operational guidance and procedures and
also working collaboratively as part of
the wider NHS team to deliver on the
ward or departmental objectives so those
are the things that we need to focus on
during your preparation for your band 6
nurse interview so let's get straight
into those band 6 nurse interview
questions and answers here we go
question number one tell me about
yourself
why you will make a competent nurse
within this NHS position so it's pretty
much guaranteed to be the first question
during your band 6 nurse interview tell
me about yourself but we're going to
expand that and answer with why you'll
make a competent nurse within this
particular position here's my suggested
answer being someone who is passionate
about the application of effective
clinical practice and also being
determined to deliver the highest
standards of patient care
I feel the role of a band 6 nurse is a
perfect match of my experience my
interpersonal skills and also my future
career plans I am someone who very much
enjoys their job and having the ability
to make a positive impact to people's
lives is something that gives me much
satisfaction I will make a competent
nurse because I understand the values of
this NHS trust and I will work extremely
hard to embed them in everything that I
do finally apart from being confident in
my own abilities and also being
resilient in difficult and challenging
situations I'm an excellent team worker
I have outstanding communication skills
and I will always act with honesty
integrity and loyalty whilst performing
my duties as a nurse so that's a strong
it's a confident and positive answer to
that first band sixth nurse interview
question tell me about yourself and by
the way if you want to download a copy
of these interview questions and answers
please do stick around they'll tell you
where you can do that or conversely you
can simply take notes as we progress
let's move on to the next question we
assume you have read the Job Description
for a band six nurse what do you expect
to be doing on a day to day basis within
the role so basically this assesses your
understanding of the job description so
again make sure you get a copy of the
job description but this is my generic
answer based on a band six nurse job
description here we go
yes I've read the job description in
detail and I'll be required to assist
the charge nurse with all of their
duties including ensuring care is
provided to the highest standards
possible at all times in line with the
NH NHS trusts values I will also be
required to provide specialist knowledge
and advice to both junior medical staff
and nurses work within the set
boundaries of clinical governance
maintain staff records facilitate
training courses and programs
and also assess and evaluate levels of
patient care in conjunction with the
wards aims and objectives
I'll also be required to collect data
and information to help improve patient
care assists with managing the delegated
budget follow all health and safety
rules and manual handling regulations
act as a mentor and Assessor to junior
members of the medical team and always
act as a positive role model whilst
maintaining optimum proficiency in all
of my duties as a band 6 nurse so if you
use that answer during your interview
think again you're going to come across
as professional you're knowledgeable and
you know exactly what you'll be required
to do within the job description for a
band 6 nurse let's have a look at
another question tell me both your
strengths and weaknesses and how they
will impact on your role as a band 6
nurse now obviously there is a
possibility that you will get asked two
questions separately what are your
strengths and what are your weaknesses
but I've combined them into one
particular question to help you so the
question is tell me but if your
strengths or weaknesses and how they
will impact on your role as a band six
nurse here we go in respect of my
strengths these are many and varied
however in particular I am a great team
worker who understands the NHS trusts
values a mission that they can't be
achieved single-handedly it's important
that I work as part of the wider team in
order to collaboratively achieve the
objectives of the organization I'm also
someone who will always follow rules and
procedures and can be relied upon to
remain calm in extremely difficult
situations and every one of my key
strengths is my adaptability within my
position as a nurse and also my
willingness to embrace change positively
the NHS is changing all of the time and
it's important that we as a team unit
embrace changes with a positive attitude
now in respect of my weaknesses I would
have to say it's my unwillingness to say
no to additional work at times even when
I don't have the capacity to take on
extra duties now in the past I sometimes
have taken on too much work and this is
simply added to the natural stresses of
the role having said that I am someone
who always wants to help out and I will
do all I can to help the medical team
and the wider organisation as and when
needed so that's a really good response
and I believe that weakness is a safe
weakness if ever there was one because
you're not saying my weaknesses I don't
like to work
with other people or I struggle to
follow rules and procedures which could
do you harm in your application for this
position of ban six nurse now I've got
another question to come free so please
do stick around but if you want to

interview questions and answers there is

if you click that it will take you

comm where you can download a copy of
the full set of bands six nurse
interview questions and high scoring
answers let's move on to next question
what are the six C's for nursing and if
you had to choose one of them as being
the most important which one would it be
so what are the six CS for nursing and
if you had to choose one of them as
being the most important which one would
you choose
here is my suggested answer the six C's
of Nursing are designed to be used
collaboratively to ensure the high
standards of care and treatment are
always maintained the six C's are care
compassion competence communication
courage and commitment now whilst I feel
they are all as important as each other
if I had to choose one of them it would
have to be competence competence he's
doing everything professionally
diligently and in line with the required
training rules and procedures and on
that basis a nurse could not perform
perform his or her duties without
competence which would effectively mean
the remaining five C's would become
redundant so you might have your own
view on which one is the most important
but that would be from my own personal
opinion next question what do you
understand by the term clinical
governance so clever no clinical
governance is obviously really important
in respect of being a proficient and
competent nurse here's my suggested
answer clinical governance is a
framework that ensures the NHS trustees
accountable in respect of the quality of
service it provides and for also
ensuring the safeguarding of standards
for treatment and care the framework is
so desired as to ensure the relevant
standards are maintained at all times
within the environment staff are
operating within it is a responsibility
of all members of NHS staff to work
within the framework and if anyone has
any concerns in relation to the
adherence to the framework they must
report them to a senior member of staff
