Your interviewer asks this question to assess your ability to set aside their biases and provide care for patients at Adventist Health whose values and beliefs are different from their own. At many points during your career as a Registered Nurse, you will encounter patients from all walks of life and all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds as well as genders, religions, and other belief systems. To provide the best care to all their patients, you should always be aware of any conscious or unconscious biases you may have and set them aside while providing care. To successfully answer this question, think about giving a specific example of when you recognized a patient's values and beliefs different from your own and talk about how you handled that situation with ease.

"I am very active in my church, and I consider myself a very devout Christian. At the hospital where I currently work, I often care for patients with different religious beliefs than my own, as I work in a culturally diverse area. While some people in my church family have asked me if it is 'weird' for me to care for these people, for me, it isn't weird at all. I enjoy taking care of all people and feel like it is my calling, no matter who they are or what religion they practice. I strive to give the best care possible to all my patients, despite how different their beliefs, religious or otherwise, may be from mine."
