The interviewer wants to know if you are easily overwhelmed when 'out of your element,' so to speak. Moving from a smaller facility to one as large as Mount Sinai Hospital could be overwhelming, even to a seasoned employee. The interviewer is not asking that you not be overwhelmed, but is rather looking to see if you are willing to accept the challenge of transition. Speaking confidently about your willingness to learn will be a positive way to answer this question.

"There will not be a transition period as I am used to working in a larger facility close to the same size as Mount Sinai Hospital. I worked for five years in a 900-bed facility and was very comfortable working in a facility that size."

Coming from a retail background, where I've worked in stores with high script counts, I am accustomed to working with high volume and a fast-paced environment. Therefore, I can foresee a smooth transition in regards to facility size.

Good answer; however, if you have specific numbers, those would be very helpful here.
