"One of the things that attracted me to Memorial Hermann Southwest is the trauma center. I briefly worked in a trauma center in (city) and loved it. I like to stay busy, and when working trauma, there usually is not much 'downtime' which goes well with my personality. Also, it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I see patients who have come in with a serious situation who are being cared for and on the road to recovery."

"I just completed my certification as a wound care nurse with the hopes of becoming part of a trauma unit. Memorial Hermann's reputation as a top trauma center is one of the reasons I sought out employment opportunities here."

The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have experience working with trauma patients. They want to see if you will need training before working in trauma or if you will not.

Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center is one of the nation's busiest Level I trauma centers and the primary teaching hospital for McGovern Medical School at UTHealth. Having a trauma center that is also at the heart of teaching speaks volumes for the care that is given there. In teaching facilities, whether a patient sees more than one physician at a visit or not, there are usually at least two physicians (a resident and a staff physician) overseeing the patient's care. This allows students to learn and patients the assurance that final decisions are being made by a licensed physician overseeing their care. Share with the interviewer any experience you may have working with trauma patients, and always remember to have something positive to say about the hospital.
