As a Certified Nursing Assistant providing the most intimate care to the patients at Adventist Health, your interviewer will ideally be looking to hear that you will bring a gentle, kind, and empathetic approach to all patients you would be working closely with. Without being too longwinded, talk to your interviewer about how you bring a customized and unique approach to every patient you work with. It will always help to talk about the importance of customizing your approach with patients because they all bring their own history, experiences, and thoughts. Bringing a customized approach is the way to show the most compassion.

"I have a great example that shows my personalized and empathetic approach with patients. After the holidays a couple of years ago, I was working a shift and visiting with one of my patients. She shared that she wished she could still write letters to her grandchildren, but her penmanship wasn't the best. The next day I spent my lunch break with my patient writing her words down on some pretty stationery I picked up the night before. We addressed the envelope together, and I dropped it in the mail that evening. She thanked me for my thoughtfulness and said she felt like she could re-connect with her grandchildren again. A personalized approach like this is how I would like to continue to care for your patients at Adventist Health."
