Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.

Before your interview with Adventist Health, you must research the department you will be interviewing with and relate your past experiences handling patient loads to this new department. This is a question where you can open up and be honest with your past experiences and what you feel comfortable working with. This is an excellent time to emphasize how you keep yourself organized and let the interviewer know that you can take on any workload that comes your way.

"During my career as a Registered Nurse, I have found out that the number of patients that I'm comfortable handling is relative to the unit that I'm working on. In a highly acute ICU, I've worked with as a high as eight patients on a shift and felt this was overwhelming. On a Med/Surg unit, eight patients on a unit that I'm responsible for is low. No matter the unit that I work on, I have a great method in place for prioritizing the needs of my patients and make sure that all of my patient's needs are met on time."
