The interviewer would like to know if you consider yourself a patient individual. Impatience can cause a lot of stress and anxiety in coworkers, so it is essential to showcase your ability to remain patient and professional in workplace situations.
Patience is a virtue but can be challenging to maintain when situations continue to push your buttons. Show the interviewer that you possess the ability to keep your cool in challenging conditions.

"I consider myself a patient person. I would rate myself an eight out of ten for patience because I have room to grow, but I do have a very long fuse. If I need a boost of patience in a challenging situation, I take a step away, count to 10, and then return to the situation. I recently read a book, 'The Power of Patience' by M.J. Ryan, which also gave me some excellent new methods for coping with stress."

"I was once working with a group that could not quite get along, and it tested my patience a bit because it prevented us from staying on track and focusing on the goals. I went above and beyond in helping the group get along by scheduling lunches as a team and helping to mediate situations that needed it."

Step back, take a deep breath, get as much information as I can, begin to prioritize and assign employees to tasks or prioritize what I need to do to keep the patient safe. I am patient. I have the maturity to understand that nothing is fixed by acting dramatically or emotionally. The best employees take time to calm, prioritize and treat.
