Maintaining a healthy work/life balance is essential to prevent burnout, illness, and injury. Talk to the interviewer about how you can maintain that appropriate balance for yourself.

"I find that it's pretty simple to balance life and work with the right company. It doesn't feel like a chore when I enjoy what I do. I am always sure that when at home, my family gets my attention first. We do things as a family on my days off, and I take time on the weekends to do things for myself, like getting a massage or doing yoga. When I do activities I love and spend time with my family, all my stress is relieved, and I am energized for my next shift."

"I make a strong effort to keep a healthy balance by spending my free time away from my cell phone and having more face-to-face time with my friends and family. I indulge in the things that make me happy on my days off, like playing with my dogs, going for long runs, and paddleboarding. I can give even more energy at work by consistently rejuvenating in this way."

Let the interviewer know that you understand the importance of keeping a healthy balance between work and your home life. Describe what you do to keep that balance and how the activities you do on your days off energize you for your next shift.
