It is a well-known fact that working in any aspect of healthcare can be very stressful. Your interviewer at Saint Vincent Hospital is also well aware of this fact and they know that it is essential for their staff to maintain a healthy work/life balance to prevent burnout.

"I find that with the right company, it's pretty simple to balance life and work. When I enjoy what I do, it doesn't feel like a chore. I am always sure that when at home, my family gets my attention first. I take time on the weekends to do things for myself and ensure that I regenerate before the work week begins."

"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. Outside of work, I indulge in the things that make me happy. This includes hiking, camping, and woodworking. By consistently rejuvenating in this way, I can give even more energy when I am at work."

Talk to the interviewer about how you have maintained that appropriate balance between work and personal life for yourself over the course of your career. Also, keep in mind that your answer here allows some insight into who you are on a personal level, so don't hesitate to be creative in talking about how you unwind and relax after a tough day of work.
