Focus on showing the interviewer you have done your homework. Review the company website, online reviews, and the job description so you can give unique reasons why you want to work for Cedars-Sinai. For example, suppose you review the job description and find specific duties you would be responsible for if hired. Then, when you mention those particular duties in your interview, the interviewer will see you were diligent in reading the job description, showing an attention to detail.

"I have wanted to work for Cedars-Sinai for the past five years. My mom was a patient at your facility and received such wonderful care, and I decided then that I wanted to pursue a nursing degree. I talked at great length with several nurses that took care of my mom, and they all said that your facility was the best place they have ever worked."
