Stress is often a daily experience working in the healthcare industry. Talk to the interviewer about which areas of your career are the most stressful. Ensure that your answer does not include a factor that would make you appear unfit for the position. (i.e., a healthcare professional should not find the sight of blood to be the most stressful part of the job).

"To be completely transparent, I probably bring myself the most stress because of my innate desire to be the best. I strive for perfection too often, which causes undue stress on myself. I manage this by focusing my energy on productive activities that are good for my career."

First, briefly discuss what brings you the most stress in your given profession. Then, spend more time talking about how you combat stress and do not let it interfere with your ability to perform your job.

"I feel the most stress in my career when my unit is understaffed. At my last place of employment, they had a high turnover, and we were constantly understaffed and overworked. There was nothing I could do about it, so I focused on what needed to be done with my patients and did not let the stress get to me. Over time, it started to get to me, which is why I am interviewing for this position. I understand from your staff that Sutter Health does not have the same understaffing issues. I look forward to working in a less stressful environment."
