Many companies post they are looking for healthcare professionals who are self-starters and can work independently. While working in a team environment is also required as you collaborate with coworkers and other healthcare professionals, Dignity Health is looking for healthcare professionals who are confident in their skills and feel comfortable working alone. The interviewer asks this question to see that you can work independently and not need to be closely supervised if hired.

Focus on describing that you work well independently and with teams. The interviewer wants to hear that you can work in different types of situations but that you do not need close supervision.

"I am very comfortable working independently. I work well in a team environment as well as independently. I have worked as a healthcare professional for five years and have often worked alone with patients, except when I need to collaborate with team members of other healthcare professionals. I do not prefer close supervision as I am confident in my skills. If I have a question or require assistance from my supervisor, I do not hesitate to ask them."

I am comfortable working independently. I've been a float pool for 4 years, and most of the time we don't get oriented on the unit that we go to. It's expected that I know what I'm doing and I know where or who to ask for help if I am unsure of some things.
