Focusing on putting the patient first in every workplace decision is a mindset that North York General Hospital expects their employees and caregivers to have and your interviewer will be looking to hear of an example where you did this with ease. Talk about your personal motivations in your career and relate those motivations to your ability to put the patient first and provide great care. Let your interviewer know that you are willing to go to great lengths if it provides a great outcome for a patient.

"Early in my career, I was working in a detox unit at a large behavioral health center and we were extremely short staffed. I was caring for a young woman who was in for severe alcohol and drug dependency and I was doing all that I could to comfort her and educate her while providing the best care possible. One night on my evening shift, the incoming night nurse on the unit called in sick and our unit manager couldn't find a sub to come in for that nurse. I volunteered to stay as long as needed to find a replacement to help provide care to this particular patient because I knew she needed it. Luckily at the time, my family was in a good spot for me to work the extra hours and my manager approved as we were required to have a registered nurse onsite at all times."
