“I chose this field of work because I have a compassion for women and their female concerns. I have been an RN since 1997 and my specialties included Med-Surg rehab and Geriatric. I have floated a couple of times to the ICU and ER but, those were my younger years. I remember the moment I went to work in more of ambulatory care setting in a small family practice clinic. I would help with some of the female concerns and referrals along with the doctor. Amongst all of the medical concerns that would come across the board the women diagnoses and conditions piqued my interest the most. This is when I pursued working in more of an OBGYN care setting and landed a job providing care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.”

Why should I hire you?
“Based on my vast experiences I am dedicated, a great organizer, and a leader. I know what it means to care and listen to the needs and concerns of people. I know how to provide a safe patient-centered environment.”

How would you handle a patient, who complains about everything?
“From this standpoint I would utilize my listening skills; so many patient’s say that someone did not hear their concern. Therefore, a patient who seems to complain about everything. I would allow them to vent as I use proper communication technique such as maintaining good body language and engaging about the concerns. Another important concept is allowing the patient to know that we are a team and all concerns are important for the betterment of their health and wellness.”

What is the most difficult part of being a nurse?
“For me the difficult part of being a nurse is when someone has a terminal illness; having to look them in their eyes after they ask the fatal question “will I die”? Is very difficult and heart wrenching. However, I have been faced with this question several times in my career.”

Discuss your biggest strengths and weaknesses.
“My biggest strength is advocating and communicating for indivduals not giving up. But my weakness is not knowing when to cut the limit off. Sometimes you have to know when enough is enough although striving for the best is good; but understanding the limitations throughout a plan can help with managing the project better.”
